Depends on the tools available, I think. PG starts with plain text output from OCR scans or transcriptions typed in by volunteers, Programs like GutenMark aid in converting the text files to HTML versions. If freely available tools appear to do the same thing as GutenMark but producing ePub output files, I expect to see such things begin to appear.
