We have a Modula-to-C translator that may do this job within minutes.
Though it is not PD, it is very cheap. A short description follows.

NAME
          mtc - Modula-2 to C translator


DESCRIPTION
          Mtc translates Modula-2 programs in readable and therefore
          maintainable K&R C code without major restrictions (even
          nested procedures and modules). The translator is largely
          generated using the GMD compiler construction toolbox. It
          contains semantic analysis as far as needed for the task.
          Semantic analysis is rather complete and comprises scope
          handling, name analysis, and type determination. Context
          conditions are not checked, as it is assumed that only
          correct programs are processed. Mtc translates Modula-2 as
          defined in "N. Wirth: Programming in Modula-2, Third
          Corrected Edition, Springer-Verlag, 1985".


RESTRICTIONS
          Coroutines are not implemented yet.
          Comments are lost.
