Well, it's hacky, but...

First, create an empty local branch in knit format.  For simplicity,
I'll use a standalone branch:

bzr init planet

Now, pull remote branch into the local one.  (You can pull any branch
into an empty branch.)

cd planet
bzr pull http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/bzr/planet/devel/trunk/

This should leave you with a knit-formatted copy of the branch.
