Yes, a full Software Grant is needed. This forms the basis of the podling's code base and is a significant contribution that would otherwise require IP clearance, the original contributors (the legal copyright holders) need to sign a software grant, sent to secret...@apache.org.
Only once the secretary emails the private@milagro list back to confirm reception of the Software Grant can you import the code base to git.apache.org. As your code base is Apache-licensed it should normally be sufficient to have a software grant from the 'original' rights holder per repository (Certivox?) - as any later contributions would have been covered by clause 5 in the license: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0#contributions However any larger contributions in the past may still needs to be part of the grant (e.g. if NTT contributors added a new module rather than just fixing some bugs, NTT should also sign the Software Grant).
