To achieve that level of correspondence you do need to design it from square one with the differences of language implementation in mind thus avoiding any major problems. Years ago I produced games for the PC, Amiga and Atari ST. My first expansion - from the Atari to the PC was a nightmare - but for the next game, produced with portability in mind, I was able to get the porting time down to about 2 weeks' work.
