There are a number of threads suggesting PRPG versions of existing classes, races, monsters, magic items, spells, etc. I don't remember seeing one on ninjas, though, and a search for this simply brings up topics about the never ending war with the pirates, people answering questions while others were typing their own responses, and Mike McArtor. Other than the BAB>HD connection, I'd just look at the overall power of the class and see where dead levels would fall, inserting similarly flavored class abilities where they pop up. Compare your version with the base classes in the Beta and see how it measures up. But you should be able to play any d20 class without any conversion at all save perhaps changing class skills to match the newly consolidated skill list. Hope that helps and sorry I couldn't point you to a specific thread where someone had already done the work for you.
I just bumped the ninja up to d8 HD and turned sudden strike into sneak attack.
I just gave ninjas the d10 they get for their full BAB and made ninja dodge work like dodge.
Of course, I'm talking about the L5R ninja.
And I do have a ninja in my upcoming SD campaign. Human, of course (I told him that halfling ninja would totally work, but they insisted that human is just more fitting flavour-wise. Which translates to me as "we want an excuse to be powergaming weasels"! ;-))
