You could come out of the HDMI output into a Black Magic Intensity Card. http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
Requires a fairly robust PC or Mac (Intel only) with PCI Express slots. Works with Final Cut Pro 5.x and Premiere Pro.

I just heard on the Digital Production Buzz Podcast
http://www.digitalproductionbuzz.com/Podcast/
that FCP 6.0.1 will handle AVCHD. However I don't know how you would get it into FCP without FireWire. Phil Hodgetts recommended transcoding to Pro Res 422 to edit. Check on Apple's website for more information.
