mkv and avi are both video container.  You should be able to quickly
"change" the container with mencoder (part of MPlayer):

mencoder video.mkv -ovc copy -oac copy -o video.avi

well MPlayer must be compiled with mastroka support, and the result may
be "weird" if the .mkv use many audio channels etc.
It may be a better option to extract both video and audio part and remux
them.  Look at multimedia/mkvtoolnix, transcode and/or mencoder.
