There probably wasn't a (public) BCPL compiler for the Amiga. However with the leaked AmigaOS 3.1 source is what looks like a compiler executable for Sun (680x0) workstation, and the source code for that (in BCPL and 68000 assembler).

If you can get the Sun BCPL compiler working (do NetBSD or Linux support running M68K SunOS executables?), you could use that to compile an Amiga executable of the compiler.
