Not without creating missing information. Most notably, ofx  
transactions have a unique ID. qif transactions do not. So you'd have  
to decide how you wanted to create the IDs. They only have to be  
unique per account, but how will you ensure that you know which  
account is which over time?

I'm pretty sure there are other impediments, but the missing IDs are  
an issue.
