From DocBook to FrameMaker

I really don't know docbook, but *if* you can export it as a .doc file 
or .rtf, you can open it straight in frame.

I am not familiar at all with structured Frame. So my question is, how easy is it to import a DocBook file into FM, and what would it require to achieve that nicely ? Also, is it mandatory to use structured FM for doing so ? And if yes, how much work would it be to turn an unstructured "light" FM document (3 chapters, about 75 pages) into a structured one ?
