Afaik there is only one converter: midi2tex, and it does not even support

Maybe there is a third option: rosegarden, it includes at least export
to pmx and can import Midi as well as export. But the current version
can only export pmx, so you're lost concerning your old compositions.

I'm not aware of any other though I did not closely inspect the linux
sound pages which contain many midi programs (Warning: Try a mirror like
www.linuxsound.at, as the original site seems to be down for the day).
