Hopefully I understand exactly what you're getting at. :)

There is a program on the A-Max Utilities disk called File Transfer 2, which
allows Mac files to be transferred from Mac- or Amax-formatted disks to
Amiga-formatted disks and vice versa.
 
For example, I have downloaded a few Mac programs onto Amiga floppies using
JR-Comm.  I then boot up A-Max & load File Transfer 2.  The program asks for
the floppy in DF0:, and you are given various translation options (like
MacBinary).

Check the A-Max II manual, chapter 9, for more info.
