As far as I know, one of Anope Developers - Certus - is working
on such an tool. Translation won't be easy, hybserv uses DES
encryption for passwords, while Anope uses MD5:

Certus: I'll create a random new pass for every user and I'm gonna 
        email this pass to the user if he has specified an email. if
	not, I'm gonna write his nick + pass into a list.
Certus: so the user can ask you for the new pass
Certus: and you (as an oper) look it up in this file

Certus on irc.anope.org.
