Nope, BibTeX styles are very different.  We would probably help anyone who
wanted to write a conversion program, but I suspect that it's too much work.

Contrary to Avi's opinion, for people who have access to Lisp (particularly
Macintosh Common Lisp) a conversion program does exist.  It converts BibTeX
to Refer format, which can then be imported directly into Endnote. I have
had relatively good success in converting BibTeX-format bibliographies to
EndNote using this tool.

Here is the header information from one of the files.

;; File            : bibtex-refer-init.Lisp
;; Version         : 1.0
;; Author          : Arie Covrigaru

;; PURPOSE
;; 
;;  This file adds a new menu-item to the Tools Menu.
;;  The menu-item translates a bibliography file from BibTeX to Refer

This converter can be obtained via anonymous ftp to cambridge.apple.com, in
the /pub/mcl/contrib directory.  The file is called bibtex-to-refer.hqx or
something similar.

Enjoy,
