I just added three functions to org-bibtex.el which should help in these
use cases.  Form the git log,

    import whole bibtex files into Org-mode
    
    * lisp/org-bibtex.el (org-bibtex-read-buffer): Reads all bibtex entries
      in a buffer.
      (org-bibtex-read-file): Read all bibtex entries in a file.
      (org-bibtex-import-from-file): Import all bibtex entries from a file
      into the current buffer.

The `org-bibtex-import-from-file' function should be the easiest way to
import whole bibtex files into the current Org-mode file.  Be forewarned
that it may create many top level bibtex entries.

Hope this helps,
