I have got a PC to Mac monitor convertor. I think you can get them from
MacWarehouse (in the UK anyway). If the Mac monitor is multi-sync it will
work with a VGA/SVGA output from a PC, with this convertor.

The answer is generally no.   The Macs use a whole different video standard
than the VGA and SVGA standard used in the PC world.   I guess there has
never been enough demand for a mac monitor to vga convertor.  I checked out
the only place I could think that might carry anything like that, Blackbox
doesn't even have one.

If the question was to use a SVGA monitor with a Mac, there are converters
for that though.
