AdaCore recently announced that "GNAT Pro Solves Data Endianness Portability Challenge" (http://www.adacore.com/press/endianness-portability-challenge), though they don't provide any detail about the specific approach, simply referring to it as "a natural extension to the existing Ada data representation model".
So, it should be available to those who are GNATPro customers, and given the lead time I'm pretty optimistic it would be available in GNAT GPL 2013 (which is typically released mid-year).
