The easiest way I have found, so far, to convert SVN to Fossil is via Git.

In theory, writing a SVN-dump to git-fast-export format converter could be
done. If you want to have a near real time mirror of the SVN repo, you
might have to create the Fossil repo that way because git-svn "maps" SVN
branches and tags in a strange way. (even svn2git doesn't properly map SVN
SVN branches and tags)

To have near real time update of SVN commits to the Fossil mirror, I think
you would have to use a commit monitor to trigger a SVN "pull", then SVN
export to your Fossil working copy, then fossil commit.
