IMHO there are two different issues here.
1. what's the right thing to do legally...
i don't recall any problems with including BSD licensed source (providing that the license is followed which probably means adding the appropriate credits) but the right place to ask this question is licensing at apache.org. you'll need to subscribe first (probably using your apache address).
2. what's the right thing to do ethically...
ethics are important for other reasons. being generous with credit often helps to stop flamewars before they start. i'd say that the right thing to do ethically is to put a note crediting the original author(s) below the the apache license.
it's usually possible to satisfy both 1 and 2 with an appropriate choice of words.

Is there any sort of policy on the inclusion of BSD style licensed code into an Apache Project outside of "relicensing".
As well, any standard set of policies/procedures on if that code is donated to a project? I understand that there are procedures for donation. But have some questions concerning this:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt
Does supplying this document properly completed constitute a relicensing of donated code to Apache?
