Not as such, although my work on QSF (XML) could provide a mechanism by 
importing the time slips as XML and loading that data into a GnuCash Invoice 
or Order. This is the best way of handling the summaries, print outs and 
statements that the customer may require.

Further down the road, it is even conceivable that this could be done 
automatically using some kind of scripting from MyProject-type tools that 
already provide the means to produce the time slips in the first place.

I do, in my paid employment, which is precisely why I'm doing all this work to 
import things like invoices into GnuCash from external sources - in my case, 
my Palm PDA.

It's not ready yet, but it should do what you require.
