Could http://www.microapl.co.uk/asm2c/index.html be used to convert it to C. A lot of work but for some crucial applications it might be worth it. I realise it might stretch the EULA a little bit but when the author/owner cannot be found who is going to complain for the quantity of users we are talking about ?
Like Vincent suggested earlier, user land binary emulation eliminates the need to do this. It's not that hard to implement, and solves the problem regardless of platform/CPU. Native and emulated binaries can co-exist, and there is even a possibility to make dirty applications more compatible than before.
