The closest you can come, is probably to let Toccata export the music to 
a .MIDI file, which you then can import to lilypond using midi2ly. This only 
requires that you find someone who has toccata installed, which might be 
easier than finding your cd (I noticed also that toccata has a downloadable 
demo version at http://www.rubisoft.com/toccata/download.htm. If you are 
lucky, this demo can export midi files).

You are also very welcome to write your own toc2ly import filter, of course.
