I have a shell procedure / C program pair that converts refer-format
bibliography files to BiBTeX format files. It does a failry good job,
though manual modification of the resulting .bib file is still
probably necessary. 

The C program is a modification of one written by Rusty Wright at the
Center for Music Experiment, UCSD and modified by Rod Oldehoeft at
LLNL & Colorado State University. It is called r2bib.c. The shell
program 'refer2tex' (actually csh) is mine, and converts a few
selected troff constructs found in bibliography entries I have come
across into LaTeX constructs. It uses a sed file called bibfix.sed.

The files are available as a shell archive in comp.sources.misc.

Please direct correspondence to me, addresses below.
