For interactive use it would probably be the best to provide the
functions in one file and source it in your shell. This way it is much
easier to modify than all those files. This bash snippet should roughly do the same:

#!/bin/bash

declare -A base

base[b]=2
base[o]=8
base[d]=10
base[h]=16

for i in "${!base[@]}"
do
    for o in "${!base[@]}"
    do
        source <(echo \
          "function ${i}2${o} { \
           echo "obase=${base[$o]};ibase=${base[$i]}; \$@\" | bc; }"\
        )
    done
done
