It’s important to avoid creating duplicate content blogs as Google can and will penalize if you do not follow proper procedure. Please see here > http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66359I recommend changing the blog visibility of the wordpress.com blog to “private” to keep out search spiders and visitors. Pleas see 1. here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
Hope this helps. :)

I understand the Duplicate Content with google, when I am gonna change the Nameservers: ns1.worpress.com to other host, nothing will point to worpress.com blog so nothing can load that blog – but I guess for sure I can set the PRIVACY settings not to be visible and that will do the trick?

If you set to Private, it takes a password to see the content – Google will never get there.
You have a Mapped Domain so Google will think that it is the same site. By setting “your-old-site.wordpress”.COM to private then Google will never see “your-old-site”
