While it used to be common for USB keyboards to also support the PS/2 keyboard interface using a simple passive adapter, this was never a standard and is very rare today. Most modern USB keyboards only support USB and won't work with any of these old adapters (which were manufacturer specific and not generally interchangabe). Of course it's possible that one of these C64 keyboard USB devices also supports PS/2 connections through some sort of passive adapter, but I would't assume so unless it's actually listed as a feature. An active USB to PS/2 adapter, one that actively converts the USB protocol to the PS/2 protocol, should work just fine however. It would just then be a matter modifying C64 keyboard to USB adapter to work with the PET keyboard instead.
