There is a lot of background material, and if you substitute the magic system for the system you use it may still work.
Adapting it to another system would be labour intensive as far as the bestiary and training packages go. But I have converted settings before... it can be done. HARP is percentile, but the divide by 5 rule can do much of the work for you to get it to a more d20 like system. There are a fair few differences between HARP and d20 like systems.
I guess that is the long way of saying I don't know how much work is involved in converting the cruncy bits. The background material is good though and could be helpful.

Just so you know, BRP does not automatically mean Call of Cthulhu. For instance, there are variants of the BRP system out there that don't have Sanity rules. You seem to be using BRP and CoC interchangeably.
Nice review, BTW. If I can paw through it in a game store, I'll consider buying.
