With V-Ray 5 we ship a V-Ray Material Library /same which is in 3dsmax/.

As to other sources if they do not offer materials especially for V-Ray in Houdini than the only way is to export the material as vrscene and import it in Houdini through vrscene SOP. But there might be operators/nodes which are no supported in VfH so it might not work 100 %
