    First, is there a way to convert X11R2 fonts into R3 fonts?  The
    specific fonts I would like are the "fg" fonts, e.g. "fg-13".

What's the question?  Convert how?  If you have a BDF file, just compile it.
If you have an SNF file, it should actually "just work" with your R3 server,
although recompiling it may produce more reasonable ink metrics.

    Second, are there any X11R3 fonts available which mimic the Lisp
    Machine (symbolics) CPTFONT family?

If you buy the ILA-XWS product from Symbolics, it comes with a utility
for converting LispM fonts to BDF.
