With a bit of elbow grease -definately!

Also, I believe there are some utilities for converting OMF format object
files into COFF, and also for converting Intel style source into AT&T.

In the later case, you will almost certainly have to do a clean-up
after the conversion.

Personally, if you understand the routine you are converting, then I
recommend doing it by hand (assuming it's not huge & you don't
mind spending the time & effort).  This is quite good practice for
learning AT&T.

The only real problems I've had is to do with implementing macro
functions, as you would typically find supported by MASM/TASM,
although I understand there is a macro preprocessor available
for DJGPP.
