I do not think that there is a tool out of the box, but as content MathML
is roughly equivalent to OpenMath (see http://www.openmath.org), for which
has been used as an interlingua between computer algebra systems, it should
be relatively easy to obtain such a system.
The way I would go is to use a transformation style sheet from content
MathML (I think there is one by David Carlisle somewhere at
http://www.openmath.org), and then use one of the systems there. If you are
interested in using such systems over the web, you may be interested in the
MathWeb system at http://www.mathweb.org. I am not sure, there may be a
service there that does something like this.
