Just migrate to CVS first, and then use "git cvsimport".

CVS obviously *uses* RCS as the individual file format, so migrating a set 
of RCS files to CVS really is pretty damn trivial. It's basically just 
copying the RCS *,v files over to the appropriate CVSROOT directory 
structure and adding some Entries files. I think CVS even comes with a 
"rcs-to-cvs" conversion script.

Yeah, just checked: google for "rcs-to-cvs.sh"

(I don't know how well it works, but I can't imagine that it won't do a 
good job. CVS really largely is "RCS with some scripts around it")
