I'm going to join the chorus saying that raiding HQ (1 and 2) stuff
shouldn't be too difficult.
Get an idea of what your scale of "this means they are good at it" is
and work from there. Use the stuff as source books to mine inspiration
from but don't try doing a direct port over.
Magic, from what I have been told, works pretty differently and is likely to be the biggest stumbling block. I would, in that case, just grab the appropriate Mongoose RuneQuest cult and use it unchanged, instrad of trying to recreate the abilities of a given cult in HQ. (i.e - if they worship Orlanth, just use a MRQ Orlanth cult.)

Not sure how much you can do while keeping all the MRQ stats. Certainly you could take the core idea of a HeroQuest (stations that carry over) and just resolve each station using MRQ. I would think taking whatever effect you need and just giving it the stats necessary without worrying about balancing it would probably work for anything mythic you need.
