You want the GNUPIC project.
http://www.huizen.dds.nl/~gnupic/
There is also a GNUPIC mailing list, though that is mainly for the
developers of GNU PIC programming software.
If you want to program anything other than the '84 though, you are out of
luck for the moment, other than using DosEMU.

Best wishes, Alex.
