It's not planned.
In fact, i think it should be quite easy to do, with the C4/Biblio.pm 
library in $koharoot directory.
With NEWnewbiblio and NEWnewitem you can import a MARC::Record in the 
active DB.
with the C4/Breeding.pm script you should have sample to read a 
MARC::Record file and manage it (C4/Breeding.pm is a new file only in 
CVS : check cvs to be sure you've it. It comes from marcimport.pl script 
in 1.9.2 release)

They don't migrate, they begin with an ILS !
