Hello, Kieran
there seems to be no such tool (yet), but why do you need one? 
IMHO, the idea behind 'projects' is to have user not deal with
makefile directly, instead Dev-C++ will use information written in the
project to write the makefile for you. So if you already have the makefile, 
just use Make to compile your program and forget about the project :-)

However, if you wish to manually "convert" the makefile, you could:
 - open Dev-C++ and create an empty project
 - open the makefile in the editor
 - add to the empty project, any source file whose name is found in the makefile

Please try to avoid using mail servers which add messages like the above
to your mails, they sound harassing to me :-) ... I'm not the addressee but
am using part of it, I hope, to help you, should I report it to the
postmaster? ;-)
