Look in the SeeTeX distribution (currently at version 2.17.0, I
believe) available via anonymous ftp from foobar.colorado.edu (and
export.lcs.mit.edu).  There's a program included in the SeeTeX
distribution called "mftobdf" which really converts PK, GF, or PXL
format font files into X11's BDF format.  You can then use "bdftosnf",
included with the standard MIT X11R4 distribution, to convert the BDF
file to SNF format.

Enjoy...
