How do you convert Kts per Sec / Meters per sec / Kilometers etc... to
Feet per minute

Knots per second would be a unit of acceleration, since knots are
already a unit of velocity. One knot is one nautical mile per hour.

I have two "older" gliders, each with 2 varios (4 varios total). 1
vario reads in feet per second, another in meters per second, another
in knots, and the last one in 100's of feet per second...

I have settled on thinking in terms of "knots" because 1) that's what
everyone else uses where I fly (so I can easily decipher thermal
strength callouts on the radio and so forth) and 2) for all practical
purposes 100 fpm is one knot, as others have correctly pointed out.
