Depending on the complexity of your vss repo, going through svn may be
an option, see

http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2008/5/27/1952124

which points at

http://www.pumacode.org/projects/vss2svn

Using those pieces you may even be able to produce a fast-exporter for
vss, whose output you could feed into git-fast-import (vss2svn already
creates an svn dump file).
