Officially, probably none. I would, however, bet that some forum regulars will do an unofficial conversion.

Definitely - already in the works for Second Darkness (just check that forum).

My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere, but will there be any official support (in the form of conversions) for pre-August 2009 Pathfinder APs to facilitate the use of the PFRPG beta ruleset?
Nope, they don't even want third parties trying to create product based on beta.
Further it seems self defeating for Paizo to provide conversions of 3.5 stuff for beta. If beta is failing to be compatible with Paizo's own stuff then it should be brought to their attention. If you can't convert Paizo's stuff, then you won't be able to convert anyone's stuff. Compatibility with 3.5 is part of the beta process, so do it yourself. :P

Just as a "Thought for the Day" for the Paizonians:
The primary motivating factor that caused me to switch from Basic D&D to 2nd Edition when 2nd was released was the single page of conversion notes in the back of the later Gazetteers. That did more than any amount of advertising of the new system.
That's really all it would take. A single page of conversion notes at the end of the book that lists what skills the various characters introduced would have in Pathfinder, and what their CMB would be, would not only make the books more useful for us Pathfinder beta testers, but would serve as free advertising for the new system.
It would help a lot of people prepare for the switch, and might decrease the customer loss that the switch from base 3.5 to pathfinder 3.5 will inevitably cause.
Just my two cents.
I ran Revenge of the Kobold King with the Alpha rules last weekend at a Con and it worked just fine with no converting whatsoever. In my ever so humble opinion, conversion for modules is a waste of time since they're already compatible.

With any luck, the biggest differences will be CMB and some skill names.

I don't know about Paizo's stuff, but I've no problem doing conversions on existing WoTC 3.5 material. So, I don't think anyone should have a problem doing a conversion in the interim.

I'm running RotRL under the Alpha at the moment switching to the Beta as soon as I get my hands on it. I've been converting on the fly where needed and encountered no problems.
I've been running CotCT alpha on the PbP boards here, and all that needs converting is HP and sometimes the CMB (depending on the bad guy / your group)
