Cocktail comes with a Modula-2 to C translator. It works all right most of the
time.

I would not be surprised if it was relatively easy to convert Modula-2 to Ada.

If my memory serves me right (it occationally do) Cocktail is written in
itself. If one changes the right files one should be able to get tools that are
written in Ada and will generate Ada source code.
