If Inkscape could open ClarisDraw and ClarisImpact files I would be deeply grateful, impressed and owe a beverage to the developer/s who implemented this magic.
I have a client with a bunch of archived files they can't access because they no longer have a working old mac or version of the software.
Probably not the fix you want, but a quick Google search says there are a few programs that will open these files:

I have started recreating some of these old diagrams by hand in Inkscape, working from paper print outs... if there was some magical way to open them in Inkscape and save to SVG - oh my!
Not sure what formats they will be able to save to naively, but if they can print then you'll be able to get started (i.e. print to a PDF and then open the resulting file in Inkscape).
