Yep, absolutely:

https://github.com/cybera/novanet2neutron

The changes are all rolled into one commit:

https://github.com/cybera/novanet2neutron/commit/31a6ef0eaebb84b94f4cc97d4f0acfffb4eed251

Note that we hard-coded the network and subnet names in there, so if you
end up using this, you'll want to change that.

Thanks,
Joe
