I have been tinkering with scripts which pull changesets from Perforce
and commit them to 'clonable' Mercurial repositories (other repoformats
should be possible too).

If there is a specific part of the Perforce tree you are interested in,
we can arrange with the people developing that part of the tree to
'mirror' and/or export Perforce changesets to another format.
