Hi Paul,
The DocBook xsls can create HTML out of the box. I haven't looked at OS
X Help in years, but IIRC, it's just html with some metadata added to
the <head> to cause the topic to appear in the right place in the nav
structures and search results. You may have to do some customization to
cause that metadata to appear in the right place. Bob's book is a great
place to learn about doing these customizations:

Alternatively, you could hire Bob or another consultant to prepare the
customization layer for you.
