Not really, although it would be extremely hard and almost undoable for big applications, but you could (theoretically) disassemble the application convert it to C++ (there are tools for that, though the code is unreadable) and then port it.

It's a remake of a very ancient game. The author did it by directly hacking the original x86 asm code disassembled by him.
Then another guy "ported" it to C++ using a tool called VIGASOCO:
