You can't directly import RIBs into Houdini due to licensing (from Pixar) restrictions.
Martian Labs offers(ed) “Glue” which did read RIB files.
http://martian-labs.com/martiantoolz/products.php?product=glue [martian-labs.com]
We're (at CIS Vancouver) involved in a project to read geometry directly from Massive, but we've (well, OK, Ivan) had to write custom C++ code to do it and it was non-trivial
I'm told there are ways to cache out OBJ sequences of agents from Massive, but I don't know how exactly.
Cheers,

drexelcould you post it here? can't access massive forum.
If you look on the massive community forum, there's an otl I put together for rendering massive sims via Houdini (PRMan). One caveat, I used our edu license, so it comes in as non-commercial…easy enough to dissect though. It'll also load in stand in geometry for your agents for blocking.
