Now there is an easier way to do this. After contacting the author of Drax, he has graciously updated his program to work directly with Vegas marker exports, no macros or editing needed. If you get some benefit from this personal service, let the author know you appreciate it!

IN VEGAS:
1) Render your file (using Sony or MainConcept AVC), and rename the .mp4 extension to .m4v (important).
2) Open the Vegas project you used, make sure to set your Time Format to "Time", and check View->Show Edit Details.
3) Choose Markers / All Fields.
4) Click the upper left box to select the whole table. Ctrl->C to copy the marker data.
5) Open a new Text file on your desktop. Paste the marker data into the file. Save the file.
IN DRAX:
1) Open your renamed .m4v file.
2) Click on the "Chapters" tab at the bottom of the window.
3) Go to File->Import Chapters
4) Click on your newly-created chapters.txt file (you can also edit or add chapters manually if wanted).
5) When the new chapters have imported successfully, click File->Save.
That's it! Works with any AVC MP4 file with an .m4v extension, not just iPod / iPhone. Works with Handbrake files.
Drax is a very simple, intuitive .mp4 /.m4v tag and metadata editor. Does it well.
