You can retain the old number, if it's 
1) in Jira format  (project-number)
2) sequential
You can doctor the CSV - sort it by the number, and fill in blanks if you have to.  For example, if you have 3 issues, with old keys of 3, 7 and 9, then set up your CSV as

Old Key, summary
1, delete me 
2, delete me
3, your real data
4, delete me
5, delete me
6, delete me
7, your real data
8, delete me
9, your real data

When that's finished importing, you can bulk delete everything where summary = "delete me".  I'd still highly recommend Joe's suggestion of keeping a read-only text field as the old key.
