I think the way is to make a view (plugin) to look at the coppermine gallery from Elgg, that is: keep coppermine as is, don't import anything into Elgg.
Alternate: import the picture album by album from the coppermine picture folder.
I don't think there are any cheap ways to import throu database updates
