There is no built-in means of linking the filters together.
You could export/import the filters.

Beware! When it imports, it will overwrite the existing filters, not merge them.
All this add-on is doing is copying the underlying data file, msgFilterRules.dat. There is one per account, so you can move these by hand if you don't want to use the add-on. A tool such as Microsoft's robocopy could be used to traverse your file system and collect (then replace) all of your various msgFilterRules.dat files, retaining the tree structure.
This copies all the msgFilterRules.dat from my profile, cjr_profile to a folder by the same name on my USB thumbdrive in D:\.
robocopy cjr_profile\ d:\cjr_profile\ msgFilterRules.dat /S
These are text files, so if you're careful, you could merge filter rules from your various computers by melding their rules files together.
Caution - filters contain rules which use explicit pathnames when moving or copying messages between folders. If your folder systems on your two computers are not identical, your filters may fail.
