Not to the best of my knowledge.
Encoding material already encoded is generally a bad idea. The quality will be crap.

It depends what kind of wmv. ffmpegX supports wmv up to version 8 inclusive and will encode to a format that you can use in Quicktime or imovie - DV is probably best. If you are using wmv 9 then the only solution is Flip4Mac and it's not free but it is a very good solution and allows you to open wmv in Quicktime itself so you can export directly.
Flip4Mac has trouble with some early wmv files I find but ffmpegx can usually cope with those so using them both together is a reliable solution.

OMG that means that with either ffmpegX or Flip4Mac I can convert my entire porn library and store it all in iTunes! YEAH!

So I just tried that Popwire Compression Master 3.2
OMFG
There's a trial download that'll free but it will only convert 20 seconds of video.
Just to try, I threw at it what I would consider one of the hardest compressions. A wmv file to Mp4 file. It flew through it in no time and the result was an identical 20 second copy of the original file. This is a genius piece of software.
This software coupled with iTunes makes it so that I could store my entire library in the iTunes program and it will make it so that all of my videos are available to watch using Front Row.
I HAVE TO HAVE IT!

OK just kidding, it choked on two more files I threw at it:
A DivX AVI File that had the following Properties: Video: Generic MPEG-4 / Audio: MPEG Layer 3
A DivX AVI File that had the following Properties: Video: DivX 3.11 / Audio: MPEG Layer 3
