If you read some of the GNAT propaganda, you'll find that you might be able to extend your product in Ada, leaving large parts of it in its current Modula 2 form. The 'gcc' tool also supports C, C++, and (I think) FORTRAN. These are more stable than the GNAT part, so you could start now in some C++ and switch to Ada 95 later. I read something on the GNU run time system. If your careful during the link phase, a program written in all three languages should not have any problems.
