Kevin, Galen's solution may be easier. I just haven't had much luck with MarcEdit in a batch mode. But if you're doing a single import, changing the subfields in the import file with MarcEdit would be easier than my suggestion. We're doing an automated import on a regular basis so that wasn't an option for us.

The easier way, in my opinion, is to edit the Koha-to-MARCmapping section. Koha is defaulted to 952 field for item data.
Not to bombard you with alternatives, but I would actually recommend that you use a tool like MarcEdit's global change feature to move the 949s to 952 fields, then import the records. While Brenden is correct that you can change the Koha to MARC mapping, that's not enough to get the item records indexed correctly. If you're using Zebra, you would have to edit records.abs.
