  You cannot do that because widgets cannot be exported. The content in text widgets can be copied and pasted to move it.

  I assumed you were referring to the widgets here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/category/widgets-sidebars/ or to the widgets that comes with WordPress.ORG installs.

  Note: Without know exactly which widget you refer to we cannot provide a definitive answer to your question. There are code restrictions and if the widget in question is an iframe or JavaScript then you will not be able to use it on a free hosted WordPress.COM blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
