Or you can use fontforge which is already packaged in Fedora.
See what Arch is doing:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/terminus-font-otb
cat > otbconvert.pe <<EOF
#!/usr/bin/fontforge
i=1
while ( i<$argc )
Open($argv[i])
Generate($argv[i]:r + ".otb")
i = i+1
endloop
EOF
otbconvert.pe *.bdf
for i in *.otb; do
install -D -m0644 $i "$pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/misc/$i"
done

This sounds sensible - packaging the converted version. Who's up for some bug
filing? :-)
