From the Knowledge Base on mtdn:

"What if I don't want to use a ringtone management program. Is there
anything else?

With the Palm Treo 650, Palm incorporated more methods than the lone
midi ringtone capabilitities in earlier Treo models. While mp3 can still
not be natively used, such other formats as the popular "voice ringtone"
AMR and even small wavs may now be stored internally and used straight
from the built-in Sounds application for ringtones*.

AMR and WAV ringtones can be dowloaded and installed onto your Treo just
as simply as midi, and additionally they are stored individually and
separately rather than as part of a Ringtones Database, as is the case
with midis. However, these files generally cannot be simply hotsynced or
directly installed to internal memory, and must rather be "transferred"
directly into the Sounds app to be used. There are several methods in
order to do this."

I seem to recall there being free programs to work with amr, but not
sure about mac.  Knowing the file type you may be able to google for one
now.
