First off, I've never done this so can't speak from experience.  FWIW, I 
suggest you take a look at Mark May's Mythical Kingdom Software Web site

http://lilacway.dyndns.org/mk/mk.php

Mark offers programs for conversion between various FTN message base 
formats, between FTN formats and QWK, a net-level QWK door, and a QWK  
interface for RA, amongst other things.  This list is taken from his
QWK <-> FTN program's docs.  AFAIK, all Mark's programs are freeware.

An alternative for translating between FTN message bases and QWK is FIDOQ 
by Charles Sy.  That's shareware.  File name is FIDOQ125.ZIP, widely 
available on Simtel.  You can find FIDOQ126.ZIP fairly readily by a Google 
search.

A word of warning; Mark May's programs are written in Pascal, so you may 
encounter the "fast Pentium bug."  I suspect this is true of FIDOQ too.  
Also, these programs are fairly old, so you'd need to check for Y2K- 
compliance.

     Hope this helps,

              Robert.
