Have you looked at

Poplog does run on VMS but we don't have a working executable
for VMS at the free poplog site.

The Poplog sources for VMS on Vax and VMS on Alpha are there in the
main Poplog source directory. (I canproduce tar files if needed.)

To create a working system from the sources it would be necessary to
get a running poplog on another machine and then compile the sources
for the target machine, transfer them to the target machine, then
assemble and link there.

There are instructions in the files in here
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/sysdoc/

If you do manage to do this, please donate the result back to the
free poplog site!

I believe ISL (now SPSS) have working versions of VMS poplog (used
for Clementine), but I don't think they any mechanism or motivation
for making it available.
