Veritas tools can be used if Storage Foundation (VxVM + VxFS) was used on source (HP-UX) where the volume and filesystem was created as well as on the target (Linux).
VxVM CDS disk format is recognized by all VxVM platforms and enable seamless disk import.
fscdsconv command is then used on the Linux server to convert the Veritas filesystem from big endian (Unix) to little endian (Linux) before filesystem can be mounted.I am not aware of any other tools that exist to perform these steps.
If you have a file-level backup of the data (any backup software), you should be able to perform a file-level restore.
Dead easy using NetBackup...
