It doesn't have anything to do with finding a Mac AMR conversion program. The limitation of not being able to use AMR's as a "Favorite" sound is a bug on the device itself. (Otherwise we'd be able to do so with AMR's that we record of our voice, directly on the Treo 650. In Sound & Alerts pref, you can "add" sounds, which are voice AMR recordings. The only problem is these AMRs don't work as customized/favorite ring tones.)
That said, QuickTime Pro is supposed to allow for AMR/3GP exports. Once the sounds are on the Treo, we'll have to wait for PalmOne to address this bug, and *then* maybe it will work the way PalmOne says it should:

Add AMR ringtones
The Treo 650 smartphone uses two formats for ringtones: AMR and MIDI. This section talks about AMR, which is best suited for voice clips rather than music.
AMR ringtones are recorded using your Treo 650 smartphone's built-in voice recorder. It's an ideal way to add alerts like "Hey, Larry's Calling!" or "You have an appointment" to your repertoire.
To add an AMR ringtone:
Press Applications Launcher .
Launch the Prefs application.
Under the General heading, select Sounds & Alerts.
Tap on the Tones box near the top of the screen.
At the bottom of the screen, select Manage...
At the bottom of the Manage Sound screen, select New.
The Recorder dialog appears. Tap the button to begin recording, and tap it again to stop.
On the next screen, you can review your recording, and select Done when you're satisfied.
