There are several available. I recommend you check out the POSIX regex
package that (I think) comes with NetBSD, written by regex guru Henry
Spencer. It's not as full-featured as Perl's regex package (nothing is),
but it's available in C source code, it's written to the
POSIX-somethin'-or-other regex spec, so there's a decent chance non-Unix
OS's that try to be POSIX-compliant will have a version, there are hooks
into other languages, and it's widely available, so it's probably
well-debugged. I use a Python module called pregex, written by Neal Becker
regularly.
Check ftp://ftp.ctd.comsat.com/pub/pregex-0.7.tar.gz for a copy the both the
regex library and Neal's Python module.
