If I understand you correctly, there is such a program, "mcvert." It will
convert programs either from BinHex to MacBinary or in "reverse" mode from
MacBinary to BinHex.

As far as I know, the newest version is 1.65, a shell archive you can find at
sumex-aim.stanford.edu in /info-mac/unix under mcvert-165.shar or under
the same name in the /pub/mac/unix directory on f.ms.uky.edu.
The shar file gives more instructions about how to make the mcvert program

I hope this answers your question.
