Just gave it a test.  Worked fine.  Just put the otf(s) in a dir
pointed to by your XftConfig and/or ~/.xftconfig file(s).

It looks like pfaedit can accomplish this.  Cf: http://pfaedit.sf.net

(Hmm.  Looking closer the otf I tried is CFF encoded, so converting to
Type1 is a relatively simple operation.  For TTF outlines in an OTF,
it would probably be better to convert to Type42, yes?  I've had
success in the past using a Type42 font with TeX.  ftdump will let you
know whether the otf is ttf or cff.)
