I went ahead and packaged it myself for my own use.  I'm attaching my 
.cygport file in case you want to use it.  I'm also attaching the 
.cygport for python-fastimport, which is needed by bzr-fastimport.

I can ITP these myself if you don't want to.  Just let me know.

SUMMARY="Bzr plugin for fast loading of revision control data"
DESCRIPTION="Bazaar Fast Import is a plugin providing fast loading of revision
control data into Bazaar.  It is designed to be used in combination
with front-end programs that generate a command/data stream for it to
process.  Front-ends are available for a wide range of foreign VCS
tools including Subversion, CVS, Git, Mercurial, Darcs, and Perforce.
New front-ends are easy to develop in whatever programming language
you prefer, making Bazaar Fast Import useful for teams needing a
custom migration solution."
