If the program is written in a high level language like C or C++, you can
{theoretically} just recompile if you have a cross compiler for the target CPU.

For example:
6502:

http://www.npsnet.com/danf/cbm/cross-development.html

Z80:
http://home.swipnet.se/~w-68269/tml2/tml2.htm

Of course, it won't run fast on the target and chances are good that it won't
fit in the memory space unless it is really a small program.

I guess that Thinker might fit with a little bit of work, and it's pretty
strong.

But the 64K address space is the big problem here.  Won't be much room for hash
tables, that's for sure.
