I've never used any of the Emacs address books, so I don't know.  

However, it should just be a matter of converting the information in the 
address book to a format that mailaprop can understand.  In practice, that 
means either the format of the `mailaprop-address-file' or the format of the 
in-memory list `mailaprop-addresses', both of which are documented in 
mailaprop.el.

Summary: There's no integration right now, but my guess is integration wouldn't 
be difficult.
