The program Fontz! by (the now defunct) Neocept can convert Mac fonts (amongst
many other formats) to GDOS fonts.  I haven't worked too much with this
program, but the general idea is that you load the font into Fontz!, select
the resolution you want for the GDOS font, and then use a pixel editor to 
touch up the rough spots caused by the resolution conversion.  It's better
than starting from scratch, but it ain't trivial either.

One place I know you can get Fontz! is from B+C Computervisions in Santa Clara,
California (408)749-1003.

I am not associated with Neocept or B+C in any way etc. etc.  blah blah blah.
