Not with mkvtoolnix per se, but if it's a plain text format then it should be easy to write scripts in whatever scripting language you like (Perl, Python, Ruby, awk...) to convert such files.

"Due to its limitations mmg cannot output chapters in this format."

What does that mean? mmg won't put them in a mkv file but converts it to xml first?
There are two text chapter formats, OGM style and XML files. OGM style files can only store the start timestamp and the name of each chapter, and chapters cannot be nested. The XML file format can contain many more attributes (end timestamp, editions etc) and chapters can be nested.

Therefore mmg will not save to OGM style chapter files -- too much information is lost. It can either save a XML text file for further processing or it can save directly into an existing Matroska file. In both cases no information is lost.
