I use PDT, and there is no problem to import a project from its current
location.
It might take you a while to exactly figure out how to do it, Eclipse is
a bit organic in respect to the organization and working of the menus.

This works very well with PDT and Subclipse.

If your current document root is a checked out svn project,
PDT/Subclipse will "see" this, no need to overwrite anything.

Again, I work with PDT/Subclipse.
Eclipse is simply too organic compared to what you are used to. Just
relax and give it a try and you'll love it.
