This comes up regularly on the IBIS list; to date there
are no serious candidates. Apparently a couple of SPICE
products allow direct import of IBIS as a behavioral
description format. Others (such as HSPICE) don't even
try. Converting the simpler forms of IBIS to SPICE
isn't terribly hard, and can be done with PERL scripts;
it's the less common variants that get tricky.
Oh, BTW: one reason that such utilities aren't widespread
is that it seems that every SPICE simulator uses a
different behavioral modelling language.
