I'm not aware of such tool, but
can imagine following migration path using DESIGNER/2000:

• reverse engineer DB-Shema into des2k repository
• upgrade forms3 modules to forms45 using standard upgrade features of forms45 ( f45gen utility )
• reverse engineer upgraded forms45 modules into des2k repository ( there is currently not possible 100 % reverse engineer forms modules into repository, specially the logic in trigger )
• redesign DB and/or modules when necessary
• use VB-Generator of des2k and generate VB-Modules
• use VB-Workbench and Add missed logic in VB-Modules manually.
