Hi Jason,
I don't know of any existing Mindtouch converter to XWiki. However there are several
handmade converter tools on
http://extensions.xwiki.org that could serve as examples.
What is the markup syntax used by Mindtouch? I have the feeling they only provide HTML
which would be fine since XWiki's Rendering can convert HTML into wiki markup for
example (or keep it as HTML too).
So converting a page would be:
* Read the export format from Mindtouch (what is it? XML?)
* Use the XWiki API to create a wiki page, convert the HTML content to wiki markup (easy
to do), add attachments
Also note that Thomas Mortagne (one of the XWiki committer) is currently working on a wiki
stream API that is an ideal scaffolding for importing/exporting wikis:
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/wiki-stream . But there's non trivial dev work to be
done to make it work.
Another idea is to contact one of the companies providing professional services around
XWiki and ask them how much it would cost for a conversion:

Hope it helps,
-Vincent

I'm looking to migrate away from mindtouch (many
reasons, not the least of which is the abandoning of Core and going to a cloud only model)
and am considering XWiki (also TikiWiki and BlueSpice). Is it possible to migrate an
existing installation of mindtouch to xwiki? We have over 4000 pages and MANY file
attachments, so a manual migration (manually moving each page) would not be desirable. Any
help or advice on migrating would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
