Emacs Calc has a radix syntax "2#10" to "36#10", so this works:
| 16#10 | 16 | 16#10 |
#+TBLFM: $2 = $1 :: $3 = '(format "16#%x" $2); N

It would be nice to have not only "N" for the Org table formula mode
string like now but also optionally all possible Emacs Calc radix, so
the above would be simply (does not work yet):
| 16#10 | 16 | 16#10 |
#+TBLFM: $2 = $1 :: $3 = $2; N16#
