There exists a Trac importer for SF data at
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/browser/trunk/contrib/sourceforge2trac.py
though I don't know which format it does expect.

Generally, I like Trac very much, especially for its interconnected subsystems.
I've used it with smaller projects, and there it works perfectly.

Having said that, I don't know if the Trac ticket system (which would be the
most important subsystem for us) scales up well enough.

Of course, if there are only a few bits missing, instead of paying someone
to operate a complicated tracker, perhaps the money could be used to pay
someone to improve Trac...
