Do your sgml files come with DTDs and stylesheets? If so, it should be
possible to use something like jade/pdfjadetex for your transformations.
The FreeBSD doc project is an example of how this can be done. You might
want to at least browse http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/sgml.html and
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/index.html
(both contain quite a number of useful references).
