If you want to copy any playlists you have set up in traktor to itunes for use in serato, just export them from traktor (right click on playlist, export playlist, select m3u as the format) then import them into itunes.
My workflow now goes like this:
Import songs into itunes, set up playlists or move songs into existing playlists, shut down itunes. Open up traktor, import music collection into traktor (I have this set up in preferences so my music folder is set as the default) which then imports and analyses any songs i have added. I still like to use the playlists in traktor (because i can move songs around in the playlists and stuff, which you cant do with the playlists that are in the itunes node) so if i have changed any playlists in itunes, i delete that playlist from the traktor playlist node, and then import the playlist from the itunes node.
