You may be interested in this project, with regards to MacBinary
http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbinconv
and with regards to creating DMGs:
http://gemma.apple.com/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/
PortingUnix/distributing/chapter_9_section_4.html
Also, if you are on another platform, then the following pages
http://baghira.sourceforge.net/dmg.htm
indicates that DMG files are 'Disk Images of the Apple FS HFS'. So
the solution would involve creating an
HFS disk image, mounting it read/write and then adding the files to it.

Is there a way to extract .bin files to a usable format that OS X
recognizes.
.bin files are in MacBinary format. Alternative software exists
(e.g. macbin) and the format is documented. Writing your own
solution shouldn't be that hard either.
It seems safari can convert the .bin files to .dmg files
if you download the file through the web.
Unless the .bin contains a .dmg, this would be a rarther complex
conversion.
I've found a man page <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/
Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man8/macbin.8.html>, but failed to find a
copy of this page on my 10.4.7 installation.
HopeThatHelps,
