On April 19, Final Fantasy: Anniversary Edition was released in Japan for the PSP, with the sequel due next month! Apparently there are options which enable you to set the language to English, so no need to wait for the English translation to be released to the US, the game can be imported for those eager fans!

Also the Official US releases for both games have been announced. Final Fantasy: Anniversary Edition is set for a release in the United States on June 26 and Final Fantasy II: Anniversary Edition will be seeing a release on July 24, so therefore you really shouldn’t need to import.
