I would imagine, that on the outside chance this ever occurred, the new pope would be allowed to keep his wife. When a married cleric from a non Catholic religion converts to Catholicism and is ordained, he is allowed to remain married. He would probably have to remain celibate, however. This is similar to the permanent diaconate where, once ordained, the new deacon must remain celibate but married. However, as long as his wife survives he would be unable to be ordained as a priest. It has been centuries since the Church elected a non cardinal as pope so the chances of this situation ever arising is remote.
