I don't think you can buy an adapter, but you could
make your own:

3w3:
            ----------------
           /  o1   o2   o3  \  
           ------------------

VGA:

             ---------------------
            /  o1  o2  o3  o4  o5 \ 
           / o6  o7  o8  o9  o10   \
          /    o11 o12 o13 o14 o15  \
          ---------------------------

3w3 Pin 1 inside  -> VGA Pin 11
3w3 Pin 1 outside -> VGA Pin  6
3w3 Pin 2 inside  -> VGA Pin 12
3w3 Pin 2 outside -> VGA Pin  7
3w3 Pin 3 inside  -> VGA Pin 13
3w3 Pin 3 outside -> VGA Pin  8
