What sort of plans do you have? Eventually something like?: 

  bzr branch http://somesite.com/mysvncode/here upstream
  [ wait a week ]
  cd upstream
  bzr pull

Or even more?: 
  cd ..
  bzr branch upstream anotherstream
  cd anotherstream
  bzr merge http://somesite.com/mysvncode/here

If so, that's be frigging AWESOME.. though a bit... large (I imagine this
eventually turns into a dozen half-reimplimentations of various RCSs into bzr
format).. I guess you're planning on using plugins of some sort?
