When Sandy Petersen worked at id, the idea of Doom set in Dorastor certainly was bandied about (though not to my knowledge by anyone in the game industry).
At one time, there was a Dragon Pass (the military boardgame) being converted; I don't think it was ever finished.
Lots of people have suggested a Praxian variant of KoDP.

I have notes for a board game set in Peloria just after the Great Darkness, where you go around awakening gods. Not sure how easily it could be adapted for the computer.
And some ideas for a God Learner game that could only be implemented on a computer.

Most people who license engines do so with the expectation that they will make significant technical -- and genre -- changes.
