I can confirm that Virtaal opens them correctly.  A "Save as" option there
(offering PO) would be a lovely enhancement.

As they are tab-delimited, OmegaT files also open nicely in MSExcel and I
used my familiarity with that to rapidly build it into a PO format by adding
indexing columns, some copy/paste, using the sort command, and the
concatenate function to add in missing pieces like msgid/msgstr and quotes.
I've twisted MSExcel's arm to do tricks like this for a long time and it was
not too painful for me.

I thought it best to ask if there was something I was just missing when I
reviewed Translate Toolkit.  FYI, the Mozilla Glossaries do make a
reasonable seed set for Terminology in those langs where they are available.
