I don't see the necessity for porting Sass to other languages. Unlike Haml, it's not tightly integrated with Ruby, so the full effect can be run using the command-line script. It should be reasonably easy to setup a Sass module for Apache, although for efficiency it would probably be a better idea to hand-compile it.
