I know there are a few differences (for example LTSpice supports "ln" for log base e, but in pspice you have to use "log" for log base e), but I am a little confused on a couple of other things. One of them is the "B" sources. The LTSpice model I have has B sources like this:
I wasn't familiar with B sources, but they are an arbitrary behavioral voltage or current source. Pspice (or Hspice) does not seem to support this. Since this is a current source in this instance (I=) I changed it to
So it is now a voltage dependent current source, and I also had to add the {} brackets. Would this be an equivalent change?
Another issue I had was with the .param and passing parameters on to subcircuits. The original model had something like
The .params that passes the value lf=lf1=1 on to the subckt is supported in Pspice, however it gives me an invalid parameter error until I remove it and just replace all of the lf and lf1 instances with "1".
Thanks for any suggestions or help. I have been struggling with this for a while.

Code:
.param lf1=1
Xgd d1 g1 gda params: lf=lf1
Rl 1 2 {26.8/af1}
CD 3 4 {8.64p*lf1}
.subckt gda d g
C_CG g d {1p*lf)
.ends gda
