This should be pretty easy by hand.  The only major difference (that I know
of) is that MPI does not have spawning (processes are defined by the
parallel system).

If you want to do so automagically, there is no real way to convert PVM
into MPI statements.  However, Unify is a partial implementation of PVM
on MPI, and allows you to use both PVM and MPI statements in a program.
