There was a pascal to C translator posted to 
comp.sources.unix (I think) a few months ago.  I have played with
is some, but only to test it out.  I seems to do a good job, except
for a bug involving passing pointers to records as var parameters
(easily fixed) and a dubiously implemented set of pascal i/o macros
(some of the i/o stuff is just dead wrong.)  The program is about
200K of pascal source.  You can probably get it from the 
comp.sources.unix archives.
