I've found that if I create a QT reference export that I can import it into a project setup for a different framerate (i.e., import the QT reference and MC 3.0 take care of transcoding it into the project's framerate - guessing).
For example, if I mix-down and then export an HDV 1080i59.94 sequence as a QT reference, I can then import it into a 1080p24 (23.976) project (at which time, MC 3.0 appears to transcode it).
If I were to try to import a 1080i59.94 in MXF format to the 1080i24 project, MC would complain.
Sorry to be so long-winded, but is there an easier way to mix media of differing framerates in MC?
Thanks,
Steve

I was about to post a similar question. I have a project shot on P2 cards where most of the footage was recorded at 720P 24P Native, but some was recorded at 720P 24P(59.94). How can I edit both in the same sequence easily?
Thanks.

If your project mainly is 24p, just create a 24p project. You'll be able to import and edit both formats on the same timeline in MC3.0.

MC3.0 won't let me load the 2 different framerate clips into the same project. It says, "Clip frame rate (59940) does not match project frame rate (23976).
What happens when you open a 60i project. Is it not going to accept both framerates?
No. Neither frame rate will play in a 60i project. Again, the clips are 720P 24N (which is 23.97) and 720P 24 (which is 59.94)
I contacted some of the applications editors at Avid to see what they say about this. I'll report back when I get an answer.
In agreement, Unity. In Disagreement, Discussion. In all things, Charity.
When you import a Quicktime file you can tell it to ignore the original framerate: Open Console and type "IngnoreQTrate true"
Not sure if it helps in your case but something to try.
With P2, 720/24p is a 720/59.94p clip with frame segmentation to give the clip the look of 24p. This is a great chart on what's what: <http://www.24p.com/HVX200_1.htm>
To change the frame rate of a P2 card I suggest using DVFilm's MXFX. This is a tutorial I did on how to use it:
