The new (HQ 2) material is intended to be mostly statless, so
presumably what you'll typically see is a text description of a
character. Personality, what they're good at, notable followers etc.
So at least you won't have to worry about translating mechanics from
one system to another. HQ 1 supplements typically do include stats,
so they'll be more work but it should still be doable so long as you
don't care about exactly matching up abilities (I'm thinking of some
of the magic rules, especially).

I'd start by at least looking at the MRQ books which attempt this. There's a little info Hero Questing in Magic of Glorantha (but not enough that I'd suggest buying it just for that) and Dara Happa Stirs gets pretty mythic in places.
