BRP might be the easier of the two, training packages (like a prestige class) are just skill sets, and if I remember cthulu correctly it handled skills well enough. Cyradon is a frightening place with a lot of aberations and even a city of the dead, so the BRP style of play might be fun with it... especially with the sanity rules. There is a lot of background material, and if you substitute the magic system for the system you use it may still work.

Adapting it to another system would be labour intensive as far as the bestiary and training packages go. But I have converted settings before... it can be done. HARP is percentile, but the divide by 5 rule can do much of the work for you to get it to a more d20 like system. There are a fair few differences between HARP and d20 like systems.

I guess that is the long way of saying I don't know how much work is involved in converting the cruncy bits. The background material is good though and could be helpful.
