Yes, of course. 3 ways to do this with Koha :
* retrieve iso2709 datas, save them in a file, and import them in the 
reservoir. They will be available for quick cataloguing (although not in 
active DB)
* retrieve iso2709 datas, save them in a file, and importe them in Koha 
with a locally modified version of bulkmarcimport (needed to have local 
items that won't be in your z3950 server)
* define a z3950 server in Koha, install the z3950-daemon, and retrieve 
the marc record from the MARC editor. More versatile, but sometimes 
z3950 server are slow or unavailable, so the 1st method may be easier.
