This database is 8i.
I would probably still use the package, as it does octal, hex and binary
as well as base 36 and 64.

Jared, what Oracle edition do you use? I'm asking because you might
want to consider not to use 'handy-dandy' hex/oct/bin/dec converter
package, but TO_CHAR/TO_NUMBER in case it's >= 8i -- it would work
faster.
SELECT TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR('0x0000500000AA', -6), 'FM00000X') dec
, '0x' || TO_CHAR(170, 'FM00000X') hex
FROM dual
