Yes, packmbox produces the standard Unix mail format, and is the proper
way to undo the conversion to MH.  Packf is an alternate mh format.

 Now that I've decided pine was quite sufficient for me, does anyone know
 how to convert my inbox back? I couldn't see how from the man pages or the
 FAQ - and just concatenating the files in ~/Mail didn't work. 

Investigate the MH (or nmh) command packf.

IIRC, the nmh version does mbox by default instead of mmdf.
