Binhexed means that the 8 bit codes in a binary file are translated to ASCII characters, so that they can be transmitted using mail etc. You can Un-Binhex them using Binhex4.0 (at sumex in util directory) or using de Unbinhex option of Stuffit. Note that most .hqx files contain a Stuffit or Packit archive, so you'll need Stuffit anyway.
