Yes. For 8 bit Apples there is HyperC, Aztec C and Small C. The first 2 are easily found on the web. The last one is from The Byteworks and should be available in it's 8 bit assembler version Orca/M which (I think) you can get from Syndicomm. HyperC and Aztec C are not ANSI C compliant but are well developed for the 8 bit Apple II. The legalities of these systems are dubious but HyperC is considered legal as abandoned shareware.

An alternate method would be the cross development system CC65. A well developed, mostly ANSI C compiler.

As an aside, the GS has a robust development environment. Well, technically 2. The Byteworks developer tools and the APW tools which were based on them.
