So, you want a PCC that's K & R for a z80? Well, I think you are out of
look. PCC isn't K & R, and hasn't been so for quite a while now.

If what you really want is a compiler package for moving code to/from
Unix and a z80 system, let me recommend the AZTEC C compiler from Manx
Software. This compiler is K & R except for bit fields. Cost is about
$200 for the CP/M version. They sell a Unix version of the same compiler;
I'd recommend getting that also. The AZTEC compiler is a bit stricter about
type checking than most Unix compilers, so you won't be able to port
antique code (pack & ar spring to mind), or poorly-written code. Hence
the recommendation that you get the Unix compiler.

If cost is a major problem, you might look into the Q/C compiler, version
3.2 or so. It's another small-C derivative, so it probably isn't what you
want.
