Ok, so lots of code...
Two possibilities come to mind:
1. Using automatic conversion from C to Pascal but then the code would still
have to be checked by humans.
2. Only convert certain portions which are most interesting to people.
For example:
Linux's tcp/ip stack.
Linux gui.
So that for example Linux gui might be improved by pascal programmers ;) :)
Is that possible ? ;)

If everybody does a little bit it could go quite quickly.
Some (arbitrary numbers) from http://www.ohloh.net/p/linux:
Codebase 10,679,927 lines
Effort (est.) 3,396 Person Years
So, if everybody on this list (maybe 300 persons) work on it, then it can
be done in just over 11 years. Not so quickly, IMHO.
