We could do a quick hack that would allow you to use current bst
files, but those are not all that flexible. Instead, I've been working 
on a module (soon to be released) that accepts input like this:

\startpublicationlist
\startpublication [key=bib1, % reference key
                authordata=Du Plessis \& Koen, % for apa
                yeardata=1992, % for apa
                type=article] % layout style selection
\arttitle{Leaf analysis norms for lemons [{\it Citrus limon} (L.) Burm.]}
% firstnames prefix lastname
\artauthor {S.F.}{}{Du Plessis}
\artauthor {T.J.}{von}{Koen}
% firstpage lastpage
\pages{551}{552}
% volume issue
\volissue{2}{}
\journal{Proc. Int. Soc. Citriculture}
\pubyear{1992}
\stoppublication

...
\stoppublicationlist

It's syntax is not completely mature yet, but I'm sure you get the
idea. This does not need a .bst file, but something like

	 texutil --bib2tex
