Yes.  Try:       (these descriptions from Debian)

gpc (GNU pascal compiler)
    the egcs version is nifty:

Description: The GNU (egcs) Pascal compiler.
 This is the egcs version of the Pascal compiler, which compiles
 Pascal on platforms supported by the gcc compiler. It uses the
 gcc backend to generate optimized code.
 .
 The current beta release 2.2 implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185,
 level 1), a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206), and
 Borland Pascal. Many Borland Pascal units supported.


Also:

p2c (Pascal to C translator)

Description: Pascal to C translator
 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. 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.
