TMTab[1] is currently 'experimental'. It seems to work quite nicely for 
hand-created topic maps. It allows the creation of a Protege project using 
a small set of base classes which may then be exported as an XTM 1.0 
serialization. The model allows the use of various short-cuts including 
direct representation of binary associations as class slots. The current 
version, however, does not support the import of an XTM file into an 
existing Protege project or the creation of a project from an XTM 
file...watch this space.
