Have you considered working the other way around the problem?
That is still write in LaTeX and use tex4ht to translate into docbook. 
I don't know
about any special requirements on the DocBook code, but this will work 
one way. At
least keep it in the back of your mind to incorporate material in 
DocBook document
that you prepared before.

There is also a db2latex project on sourceforge 
(http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/).
This is a set of xslt routines. I use the TestXSLT application by Marc 
Liyanage
(http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/#testxslt) to run them. Saves a 
lot of install
headaches, especially if the routines can be accessed over the internet 
(there is a
set of routines for mathml that can be used very easily this way: 
http://xsltml.sourceforge.net/).
