A chance for me to redeem myself for the previous misinformation/direction 
on the pbb / bembo font directory dichotomy (sorry 'bout that)

You want fontinst. It's available from ctan (get the new pre-release 
version, works fine and includes tons of documentation).

The (simple) answer to your question is found on pg. 11 of the manual.

You need a .tex file which feeds fontinst all of your properly named .afms 
as follows:
\input fontinst.sty
\latinfamily{pbbx}{}% creates a .vf set which uses the expert fonts for 
f-ligatures and small caps OR
\latinfamily{pbbj}{}% creates a .vf as above, but which also uses 
old-style figures
\bye

Then feed the .pl files to pltotf and the .vpl files to vptovf and move 
the resulting .tfm and .vf files to the appropriate places and up-date 
your map file and you should be set.
