I have a PRD implementation working -- took about four hours to write something to parse the subtleties of the magazine format. Now I need to emit Quark Tags (and write something general to emit InDesign tags or HTML or text, too.) I'll probably make some sort of dictionary that is tunable -- all of the dictionaries will have italic, just the sigils will change from one format to another (sigil or tag, whichever is a more accurate description.)
I have the beginnings of a Perl6::Rules implementation working, but since I am wrestling with its workings, Perl 6-isms, and perhaps bugs (?), I am going to focus on PRD. In fact, I started with P6R, and think I can parse OK, I am just worried that I won't be able to manipulate the results as reliably as PRD.
This is no knock against Damian. In fact, I would like to get the P6R version parsing, and then work to get an implementation running on P6R completely.

perlmonks.org, super-search for "Parse::RecDescent"
look in the P::RD distro... there's some examples in there.
google site:stonehenge.com Parse::RecDescent [hey, some of those articles look familiar!]
But you may also want to look at Perl6::Rules, the heir apparent
to P::RD, as a new learning. I'm writing an article shortly
describing how to reimplement one of my older P::RD examples as P6::R
instead, and so far it's coming out quite nice. And in Perl6 - it'll
work even better!
