Last year, a few others and I did experiment with converting FAA airport
diagrams (vector PDF) into 3D models then importing them into
FlightGear...
if that's what you are looking for.

I've done some very limited and reasonably successful experiments with
recreating an area in Multigen Creator (I'm not claiming any particular 3d
modeling skills here, I'm horrible at it) and then just placing the model in
the FlightGear world a meter or two above the original surface. In my case
we created a simple grid and laid google earth imagery on top of it ... it
was an internal not-redistributable effort, although we did get explicite
permission from google to post/publish screen shots.
