F-Spot does not currently import XMP tags.  Please see

There is no way to do it easily.  I wrote a patch to import 'keywords'
from gThumb a while back, you could somehow get the XMP tags in that
format and use that patch (which probably doesn't apply cleanly
anymore).  CC yourself to the above bug to follow its progress.
