I'm not sure that I understand. According to Linotype FontExplorer X:

Name: Hoefler Text
Family name: Hoefler Text
PostScript name: HoeflerText-Regular
Style: Regular
Unique name: Hoefler Text; 5.0d7e2; Mon. Mar 7, 2005
Format: TrueType
Format (detailed): Data-Fork Suitcase (TrueType)
Path: /Library/Fonts/Hoefler Text.dfont

Hoefler Text seems to be TrueType, and a standard Mac OS X .dfont.

And I don't understand your reference to a conversion to OpenType  
format.
