Sorry, no. The doc says

     The Perforce (P4) importer can be given a p4 depot path or a client
     specification as source.

A depot path begins with two slashes.
A client specification is an arbitrary string of letters numbers and 
some punctuation, but can not contain a slash.

Because the way P4 users generally organize their depot (i.e. not that 
well) a client spec is needed to pick the correct parts from the depot 
tree for conversion.

See here if you're really interested (probably not...)
