Yes.
SPIRES: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/ indexes everything on the arXiv,
provides bibtex for it, and forward-tracks the articles into journals.
There are several highly non-trivial way to interrogate its database.
Other services include NASA Abstract service:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
Citebase:
http://www.citebase.org/cgi-bin/citations?id=oai:arXiv.org:hep-ph/0506151
of course there are others more relevant to other branches of science...

Well we have several terse identifiers that can be recognized:
hep-ph/0509024 (arxiv.org)
math.NT/0604263 (arxiv.org)
McElrath:2005bp (bibtex entries in the SPIRES database:
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?key=6255744&FORMAT=WWWBRIEFBIBTEX)
doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.72.103508 (http://scitation.aip.org/jhtml/doi.jsp)
2006PhRvD..73a5011G (NASA ADS)
I'm sure there are others (ISBN, etc). These are easy to look up, and a
lot easier to copy than full bibliographic info. Given any of those I
know how to get the bibtex via an HTTP request, which can be fed to the
Plone Bibliography. Then a nice citation can be rendered as part of the
wiki page. See the bottom of http://mcelrath.org/Notes/TODO for an
example of such a rendering.

I want to get the info out of the Plone Bibliography, or have the server
interrogate external bibliography servers.

interesting...

Well just yesterday I was forced to use a Java application, and it
crashed my browser, again. A few days before that I decided to try
(again) the Java interface to Maple. UUUGGGHHHH it's slow. What's
that? A fork in my eye? Aaaahhh much better.
