The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), a Dept of Energy Lab has
a basic capability for modula-2 to Ada-83.  The tool is "research grade"
quality, but may provide a starting point for what you need.  This is the
same group of people who brought you AdaSAGE.  Give them a ring at (208)
526-0656.  This is an answer desk hotline in the section that wrote the
tool.

If you are looking for commercial quality, I wish you the best of luck. 
If you just need something to perform 80% of the grunt code translation, I
think this might meet your needs.  I know of two systems comprising about
250,000 lines of code that were originally developed inModula-2 then
translated and cleaned up inAda 83 after Alsys 1.0 for the PC came out
back in 1987.(plus or minus)

Hope this helps
