Not that I know of, not that it would be a "cross-compiler" anyway.
What you're looking for is a translator and, based on the limits
imposed on Occam (2) I would siggest that writing one yourself would
be pretty simple really.

As the American saying goes, "Been There, Done That" :-)

I and another chap (Howard Stein) wrote an Occam2->Ada95 translator in
Perl about a year and a half ago.  Took us about 3 weeks.  It wasn't
perfect, but it did most of the job (about 95%).

Alas, that source is held within the hands of Hughes (now Raytheon),
who has no bloody idea what to do with it now that it's orginal
purpose is done (we translated a huge radar simulator from Occam2 to
Ada95..ported that puppy from those dreadful Transputers to
SGI...ironically, SGI's "big" systems now use a similar "crossbar"
technology that was originally found in the Transputers :-)

I could rewrite it from scratch if there's enough intere$t.

I've been thinking about this for fun (too much time) but haven't got any really
 good Occam resources to work from.

I presume you're referring to the C004s?
