The easiest way to do this is by using the Forms 4.5 generator. From the command line, run the following:

f45gen MYFORM.INP USERNAME/PASSWORD_at_DATABASE upgrade=YES module_type=FORM version=30

The form will be converted into Forms 4.5 format (both .fmb and .fmx files are created). The only other issues are whether or not you have menu modules you need to conver (which is a little more involved) or custom resource files (terminal files with custom keymaps, etc) which WILL NOT work with Forms 4.5 runtime - Oracle Terminal 2.0 (not 1.0) resource files are required.

Hope this helps.
