There are two sources I am aware of modula2 compilers for unix on vaxens.
One is the Hamburg (sp?) compiler which others may be able to provide pointers.

The other is the Powell compiler which is available to educational institutions
for an 'educational' type price (~$150 if I remember correctly).  The Powell
compiler does not come with the standard libraries and does not compile the
definition modules (it includes them during compilation) and we have fixed a
number of bugs.  On the up side it does come with libraries which allow access
to a number of unix routines and it is easy to add entries to access any
unix system call and produces efficient code (according to an article in
SIGPLAN conference several years back).  The source for the compiler and
a pascal to modula translator tool is also included.  Powell is either not at
DEC WRL any more or is not responsive to queries (at least I have not been able
to get a reply).

The address of DEC WRL is
  Michael L Powell
  Digital Equipment Corporation
  Western Research Lab
  4410 El Camino Real
  Los Altos Ca 94022
  {decvax, ucbvax}!decwrl!powell

I would be willing to share bug reports and fixes with others using this 
compiler.

Hope this helps.  johnh...
