If you don't have words with multiple headwords (i.e. multiple words with the same definition) and don't have images, I'd actually suggest using Penelope to convert the dictionary, then to use dictzip-decompile on it and regenerate it with dictgen. This way, you can take advantage of the input formats supported by Penelope, but still make use of the features and compatibility of dictutil.
Otherwise, if you have multiple headwords, I'd suggest converting it to a plain-text format (like the Babylon text one or CSV) and using a text editor with regexp and multi-cursor support to transform it into a dictfile, then use dictgen on it. If you do use the Babylon format, there's a converter on the dictutil site.
If you also need images, I'd suggest writing a custom script to do it (or give me an example of what a word looks like, and I'll see what I can do).
