I don't think you'll even see the full PageRank effect within a few months, depending on the size of your site, how deep your subpages are within it, and the frequency of Toolbar PageRank updates.
Google will still have to crawl the subpages of your old domain and find the redirects to the corresponding pages on the new domain; remember that PageRank applies to pages, not sites; each page on your site that has been indexed will have at least marginal PageRank to pass from one to the other.
This may or may not fully occur by the next update, whenever that is, but that's not something you can count on: you'll just have to wait and see what happens.
However, as has been pointed out many times on here (and will be pointed out many more times), Toolbar PageRank is a useless measure due to the fact that it's not part of the Google algorithm. You could see a site with grey toolbar PageRank that's indexed and receiving search engine referral traffic, and a site with a Toolbar PageRank of 10 that isn't. As long as you're not seeing a significant traffic drop (you probably will see some in the short term, just because you're porting an old domain to a new one), then don't even worry about it.
