Yes, you can do this by using the rsvg-convert command. You can install it using homebrew, just type:

brew install librsvg

After that you can convert SVG files to PDF using the following command:

rsvg-convert -f pdf -o file.pdf file.svg

This does not support embedded fonts unfortunately.

Inkscape can be called on the command line, and you can convert SVG to PDF with:

inkscape --export-filename=out.pdf in.svg

Open the .svg with Safari and "File > Export as PDF..."

Good to know, the question asked for a command-line solution though.
