As far as i can see there can be 2 reasons why someone would want to import another character
1. continuation of storyline (example: importing from bg1 to bg2).
2. your character has kickass abilities and you like them and got used to them.
(example: importing from NWN to IWD2 if it was possible).

neither applies here. storyline is completely different and as for abilities and stats you can only build something which vaguely resembles it. the main things: ability scores (18str in bg2 is very different from 18str in iwd2), thaco/bab, ac, sving throws, skills and feats are completely different. only thing which are somewhat similar are spells for spellcasters (and even here it is only the spells themselves that are similar!!! the magic system is again different: magic resistance, saving throw dc, bonus spells... etc).
so how will you decide what thaco corresponds to what bab and so on?

so all in all while like JrKAS says it is possible to build somehing similar, if you do it you will only try and play it the same way you did you bg character. and then you will only discover that the charecter *is* in fact completely different. better just create a new iwd character and play that out.
