You might want to check out AppHarbor. AppHarbor is a .Net PaaS built on top of Amazon. On the one hand you get the portability and infrastructure of Amazon but on the other they provide a number of the rich services that Azure offers such as background tasks & load balancing plus some that it doesn't like 3rd party add-ons, dead-simple deployment and more.

You don't need to port code to .Net to run in Azure. Pretty much every runtime/language that works on Windows Server 2008 works on Azure. I've put a lot of native (C/C++) code up for various projects.
There are a lot of docs on how to run Java, PHP, etc. as well.
