We don't have any special support for BK import. If you can get BK to
export to CVS, or to something you can massage into svn dumpfile
format, then you could use cvs2svn (or one of the other cvs->svn
repository converters) or 'svnadmin load'.
Note that Subversion developers effectively *cannot* help with this,
due to BitKeeper's license. Developers of competing revision control
systems may not download and use BitKeeper for free (if I understand
its license correctly). Here are some starting points for more
information on this situation:
