"the pathnames are all hard-coded, I believe, which won't transfer,"Yes, but the path name is the same isn't it. The Mac sees the external drive with the same name as the PC did. Not sure it would work but worth a try.
Your idea to do the conversion on the PC is a good one though. That also provides a backup copy, (original wav + new conversion)
I agree a new path in iTunes preferences will store the new files in a different location for easier houskeeping, but I still think you will have every song in your library twice since it adds them as it converts. I don't think there is a way around this.
