Does anyone know if it is possible to import text and goemetry from SolidWorks 2010 SP4.0 into Catia V5?

If you want to create 3D text in CATIA, you can use a macro (available free in different forums on net).

If you want geometry with "history" you need a specialized CAD converter.

Our local SolidsWorks rep told us there is a new capability in
SW to tranfer/import CATIA data directly into SW. (not sure which release).

There is not a similar capability in CATIA to do the same with SW data. (although this might be possible in the future, according to our local CATIA rep)
 
I've seen that 3D text is available in V6 but I haven't seen anything yet for V5.

To edgrays original question... no I haven't seen or heard anything, guessing that will be the case until SW goes away from the parasolid kernel. Maybe step with feature recognition could work?
