The chill frontend was removed in 3.0 because, well, nobody was maintaining it, nobody used it... as far as I know, zero complaints were received about that removal, as well.
If you wanted it back, it'd probably be easier to rewrite it than to try to hack in all the changes since it was removed (garbage-collection support, tree-ssa, and unit-at-a-time being the most critical that I can think of).
