I have an engineer working on a solution to this problem for repositories
such as yours.  The trick is to export each cset on top of the previous
one.  So for each cset you do the equiv of "bk -r edit" in the other 
SCM, export -tplain -k on top of the files, then checkin the result.

It's brute force but for a one time export it works.  As soon as Sylvain
gets done with his script I'll have him post it here, he's wacking on
a bk2cvs script based on this idea.
