In general, it should just work. You'll want to just edit the existing device type to Z-Wave then include/re-sync it all within the context of the old device. For most Z-Wave open/close sensors the first device Indigo creates should be the open/close sensor and it'll just be a normal on/off binary state sensor like the Insteon version. It might also create some additional devices as well (if for example it has a temperature sensor). Problems arise if one is trying to replace 1 complex module (say a multi-sensor that supports Motion + Temperature + Humidity + LUX) with another multi-sensor that doesn't support the same number of sensors or they are inserted in a different order into Indigo's device group.
All that said, it wouldn't hurt to make a backup of your Indigo Database file just in case things do "line up" correctly and your existing Triggers, Schedules, Control Pages point to the wrong device. If that is the case you'll probably end up just having to manually fix them, but it never hurts to have an old copy of the Database file in case you want to revert.
