There are a number of DXF translators for the Mac. Two I have seen 
work successfully are:
  1) Claris Graphics Translator -this does DXF to ClarisCAD, Pict, etc.
  2) CADMover from Kandu Software (703) 532-0213 for $495.
I don't have the price on ClarisCAD. Ask them. 
Also, some CAD packages on the Mac can read &/or write various
formats, possibly including either DXF or PICT, but don't ask me
which ones. What am I, your mother? Read the reviews.
A good source of info is _Macintosh-Aided-Design_, a magazine on
CAD for the Mac.

Standard disclaimers. I don't use CAD myself - I just make Macs go.
