There are such gizmos, though I don't know what they're called. Try
looking/asking for 5-pin DIN to 6-pin MiniDin adaptor; the 5-pin is
male, to go into the 5-pin female socket on the PC, the 6-pin female,
for the male plug on the keyboard. (Check this; I'm sure they're
standard, but it never hurts to be sure.) I may have a spare over at the
office (I have 3 PCs with those old 5-pin DIN connectors). ComputerGate
or Weirdstuff might have them. Or there used to be a store called Crazy
Bob's. I wonder if he's still around? Anyway, if you cannot track it
down, let me know, and I'll see if I can find my spare.
