I don't know of any automatic/systematic way to convert the htaccess-file, you'll probably have to do it manually. The Nginx wiki is the best resource for nginx documentation.

Edit: I'm running Zend Framework on Nginx myself now and the config looks like this:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name servername.com;

  root /var/www/zendapp/public;

  location / {
    index index.php;
  }

  # Deny access to sensitive files.
  location ~ (\.inc\.php|\.tpl|\.sql|\.tpl\.php|\.db)$ {
    deny all;
  }
  location ~ \.htaccess {
    deny all;
  }

  # Rewrite rule adapted from zendapp/public/.htaccess
  if (!-e $request_filename) {
    rewrite ^.*$ /index.php last;
  }

  # PHP scripts will be forwarded to fastcgi processess.
  # Remember that the `fastcgi_pass` directive must specify the same
  # port on which `spawn-fcgi` runs.
  location ~ \.php$ {
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
  }

  location = /50x.html {
      root   /var/www/default;
  }
}

As you can see, the rewrite rule itself is very simple.
