Hi Dark, Sure its possible. There are plenty of languages we could convert this to such as Python, Perl, or Ruby which would be a lot more current and be way more cross-platform to boot.
In fact, I have a number of games written in Apple basic such as Oregon Trail that I'd love to convert to a more modern programming language. Python sounds like a good bet since it is simple to code in, is cross-platform, but then requires that the Python runtime be installed. Although, for text adventures I've been thinking of using a scripting language called Perl. It is C-like, but like Python is an interpreted language. In a way Perl is like writing in C without all the over head and complexity attached.
