OSX's font manager works fine with datafork ttf fonts as long as they 
have a .ttf extension.

to convert data fork to rsrc fork files, use /Developer/Tools/ResMerger :

ResMerger -srcIs DF -dstIs RSRC dataforkfile -o rsrcforkfile

(FWIW the OSX .dfont fonts are just OS9 font suitcases with their 
rsrc fork moved to the datafork, so using the above on e.g. 
LucidaGrande.dfont gives a standard OS9 font)

Cheers,

Daniel
