Finance Quote knows how to do that:

mta at bayswater /<3>darwin>bin/gnc-fq-dump currency RON CHF
1 RON = 0.2375 CHF
mta at bayswater /<3>darwin>bin/gnc-fq-dump currency CHF RON
1 CHF = 4.2102 RON

However, I think GnuCash only retrieves currency quotes against the 
default currency of the file so I don't think there's any way to get it 
to retrieve the quote you want.
