I don't know of a tool that specifically does this.

We offer generalized compiler technology for carrying
out such conversions, however, and our tools
have a full ANSI C front end complete with
preprocessor, and an Ada back end.
Somebody has to code the actual transforms.
See http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/Services/LegacyMigration.html.

I'm not sure how pretty the results will be.
C programs don't have a lot of explicit modularity
or careful type declarations ("int X" doesn't
tell you much about the expected range of values
for X).     One could, with effort,
extract some of that range information
by automating a program analysis.
