well - you can tag and sort your photos at any time.   However, if you 
want all of the photos in a particular folder to get the same set of 
tags, the easiest way to do it is import a folder at a time, and assign 
the tags while importing.

I believe that xmp sidecars are still supported when importing, so 
another approach would be to write a script in your favorite language to 
generate xmp sidecar files for all of your files that have the 
appropriate tags in them.

I used a similar approach to import photos from iPhoto with all of the 
metadata.
