I think, the question is: Does the csv file contains categories or not.
And if it contains mor than one category, it must be somehow separated, e.g. 
with a ".
E.g. firstname and categories:
  "Lutz","KDE,WORK"
It is no problem to read the value KDE,WORK and split it.
All you need is a "category separator char" config option in the import dialog 
to make it working for the case the separator is not a ,

A csv file with
firstname,categories and country, like
Lutz,KDE,WORK,Germany
Reinhold,KDE,Germany

is obviously broken and it is the task of the program which writes the csv file 
to do it properly.
But I think there should be no problem to import
"Lutz","KDE,WORK","Germany"
"Reinhold","KDE","Germany"
