Can anybody point me to something that will easilly convert these to docbook, and preserve some/most of their current formatting?

For conversion from tex and wiki to docbook, TLDP has some tools here http://tldp.org/downloads/ wt2db can also handle text to docbook conversion to some extent.

For conversion from man pages to docbook, you can use this tool. http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/doclifter/ It has link to some what stable and old distribution. I wrote a patch for this to add some more functionality. You can get the patch and the devel version at http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~ppadala/projects/doclifter I am not distributing doclifter. It's for your convenience only. You should ask Eric for proper release info.

I also wrote a patch to tidy which does the conversion of html to docbook. Details here. http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~ppadala/tidy Let me know, if you need help on this. I have successfully used it on HTML documents submitted to TLDP.
