So the solution would involve creating an HFS disk image, mounting it read/write and then adding the files to it. .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. 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.
