I know somebody worked on one.  I take it you read the articles on SQL
Server ---> PostgreSQL conversion?  

The problem, as I recall, was one of quoted identifiers.  That is, for
datediff, you do:

DATEDIFF ( m, date1, date2 )

whereas a postgresql function would have to say

DATEDIFF ( 'm', date1, date2 )

I don't know if anyone ever worked out a way around this minor problem.
