I havent heard about Freemind or Zotero, but from your description, it
should be possible to index the freemind xml files (you mean extension
.mm) using a Filter and write a backend for Zotero. Information from
sqlite database is generally not very helpful but this is a general
statement. It might be possible to write a backend depending on how
the information is stored. There are docs available in
http://beagle-project.org/Development explaining what are filters and
backends and how to write them. Feel free to ask for detailed help if
you need.
Good luck,
