So here is what I've did, FWIW:

svn diff > svn-popenaudio.diff
svn diff > svn-hid.diff
# vi both to only keep related changes
cd ..

git clone ...

git apply -p0 < ../svn-hid.diff
git rm hw/usb-wacom.c
git commit -a -m "Merge usb-wacom.c into usb-hid.c"
# argh, git status sayw hw/usb-wacom.c is still here...
rm hw/usb-wacom.c

# generate a diff...
git-format-patch -s origin
# of course it outputs a stupid mbox format which isn't used everywhere
# so I must strip the headers if I just need the real patch
(overengineering)
for f in 0???-*; do sed '1,/^$/d' -i "$f"; done

git apply -p0 < ../svn-popenaudio.diff
# now I should probably finish it first as I don't know how to generate
a single merged patch from multiple commits...
#git add audio/popenaudio.c
#git commit -a -m "Start of popen(3) audio output"
