Yes.  My understanding, though I haven't tried it yet, is that newer  
versions of the bzr-svn plugin do a good job at a full conversion.   
Basically, every svn branch becomes a bzr branch and all svn tags are  
converted to bzr tags, which are not separate branches, but actual  
symbolic names for revisions in other branches.
