Sort of.  There is a BASIC that comes a s an example of p2c translator.
I guess it was a BASIC system written in pascal. The p2c translate the
pascal source to C and compile it with cc.  Anyway, I didn't do any 
"intensive" test to see if it's a "full" functionning BASIC, but I
tried some simple program, and it worked.

p2c can be downloaded from one of the popular next ftp site.
