This is what the source file comments say, so yes it will create a bzflag mesh from a .3ds file. I used it a couple of times years ago and it worked then, If you have the ability to export your 3ds files as obj files, modeltool is probably a better choice.

// Utility program to convert 3DS model
// files into BZFlag 1.12 meshy goodness.
//
// To use the program, you might type this:
//
// ./3ds2bzw model.3ds > model.bzw
//
// NOTE: this program requires lib3ds to
// compile. to compile the program,
// use something like this:
//
// gcc -O3 -W -Wall -o 3ds2bzw 3ds2bzw.c -l3ds -lm
//

The 3ds2bzw app does not build by default. What OS are you running. Perhaps someone could build it for your OS.
