Have you looked at p2c, a Pascal to C translator:


http://directory.fsf.org/p2c.html


"P2c is a tool for translating Pascal programs into C. The input consists of a
set of source files in any of the following Pascal dialects: HP Pascal,
Turbo/UCSD Pascal, DEC VAX Pascal, Oregon Software Pascal/2, Macintosh
Programmer's Workshop Pascal, Sun/Berkeley Pascal, Texas Instruments Pascal,
Apollo Domain Pascal. Modula-2 syntax is also supported.


"Output is a set of .c and .h files that comprise an equivalent program in any
of several dialects of C. Output code may be kept machine and
dialect-independent, or it may be targeted to a specific machine and compiler.
Most reasonable Pascal programs are converted into fully functional C which
will compile and run with no further modifications, although p2c sometimes
chooses to generate readable code at the expense of absolute generality."
