Such a port has been done by ObjectSpace.  Their claim is that it works with
Cfront 3.0 (or is it only 3.0.2?)

From the STL FAQ:

    C. STL<ToolKit>:ObjectSpace at 1-800-OBJECT-1
                most C++ compilers
                code is well documented
              comes with tutorial with over 200 elementary
                        examples that have just been placed in the public
                        domain available via anonymous ftp from
                        butler.hpl.hp.com at
                                /stl/examples.Z or .zip for PC
                These examples are a good place to start.


They have taken Alex's public-domain copy from butler.hpl and modified it
extensively for portability to cfront, efficiency and some ease-of-use
improvements..
