If you are using ESX/i remember that this hypervisor uses 2 kinds of disk type (in 4.0.x). VMDK monolithic flat and VMDK monolithic sparse. This disks types are directly supported from kvm.
Monolithic flat is compounded for 2 files. * disk.vmdk is a text file with disk info * disk-flat.vmdk is a raw disk
You can load disk-flat.vmdk directly in kvm.

Is it possible to convert a VMWare image to KVM? As I have been building a few test machines on Vmware Fusion and would like to migrate some to a KVM server.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. Using qemu you can convert from .vmdk to qcow(2) or raw for instance.
