Is there an API call that would convert plugin.xml to manifest.mf like it does through PDE wizard?

You can look for the pluginconverter class in osgi.
What are you trying to do?

We are auto-generating plugins and we have a LOT of them. So far we were generating plugin.xml files. Because this software is in production we'd like to minimize the risk and use established PDE's way to convert these plugins into the manifest.mf (OSGI them). Once we feel comfortable with manifest.mf file structure we'll instruct code generators to generate manifest.mf instead of plugin.xml.
