I have not been able to find the number of players that have done that but I would guess it has occurred many times. I was able to find out the only pitcher to have hit a grand slam in both leagues. Schoolboy Rowe hit one for the Detroit Tigers in 1939 and for the Philadelphia Philles in 1943. There have been two players in MLB history that have hit a grand slam in both leagues in the same season. In 1996, Greg Vaughn hit one for the Milwaukee Brewers, who were still in the American League, and for the San Diego Padres. And in 2000, Will Clark hit grand slams for the Baltimore Orioles and the St. Louis Cardinals.
