Yes, im currently do this using remote_field , feedapi and feedmapper.

Basically if you setup the cck fields for remote_field on your feednode and map the enclosure image link to your remote_link cck field it should do the trick!

Tnx malukalu for your reply. My problem is specific. The images cannot be mapped because they are part of the content - they are included in the news with tags.

Module that can handle this is http://drupal.org/project/get_image and in my case works great, but I would like to map images to cck, this would solve my problems.

Ahh gotcha. To get what you want would probably be some combination of remote_file's capability with filefield and get_image ( cool module btw). What im doing for that problem is using Yahoo Pipes to extract the embedded image in the description of a feed item and create an image enclosure with a link to the image ( using regex ). Works pretty well actually and you can get yahoo pipes to do just about anything as far as manipulating the content... of course ur then dependent on a 3rd party app that could decide to charge one day....
