i'd look at xxd, or hextools (http://freshmeat.net/projects/hextools/),
which are apparently tools that take a hexdump and convert it
back into a binary file.  i've never used either one.  i have a
simple tool called "unod" which undoes the traditional unix "od -c"
format.  if someone knows how to get the busybox hexdump to
create that format, then that might be a very small solution (but
you'd have to work in octal).
