That would indeed be a miracle. An afm file is an Adobe Font Metrics
file, whereas a gsf file is simply the PostScript code for a font, shorn
of all the crap which some proprietary vendors use to make sure you have
to buy Mac, Windows, and NeXT versions of each font. 

There is a PostScript program which will transform a pfb (ATM/Windows)
file to a gsf file; this is included with GhostScript. There is also a
program included with TeX (afm2tfm) which will translate an AFM file
into a TeX Font Metrics file.
