I did something similar, porting first V6 then V7 to the Vax some time starting in '79 ... The process started with writing a tar clone in fortran to get the C source off of the tape, luckily I had a C compiler for VMS ...
The result was a Unix that ran VAX native in a VM, each copy ran in a single VMS process ... Then I did V7, much easier the second time around
