Hi
There is no such filter, and the authors of Filemaker apparently
developed really proprietary format...
Yes, you can cross your fingers but you really have to have big fingers :)

The easier start would be to look at possibility of export (or even
share) only _data_ from Filemaker. We have not that many users of
naive Mac around yet (but yes I know Filemaker also works on Windows).
Spreading the word about Kexi and actually using it for projects
started from scratch would increase user base and thus increase
chances for existence of more export tools.
