I recently found out that mcmaster.com has reference 3D models for many
of the parts they sell. For example,

 https://www.mcmaster.com/97040A033

Is there a way, either directly or through another program, to
import any of these file types into OpenSCAD?

Try using FreeCAD to import the file, and export to a triangle mesh format like STL.
