You are in the right neighborhood. The official site for Ada on Mac is
macada.org but it is out of date and thus gives a poor first
impression--the Mac Ada community is actually quite strong. There is a
new "experimental" web site at http://www.macada.org/macada/macada/Welcome.html.

**DO** join the mailing list which is very responsive. GNAT 4.2 and
4.3 are available as is a plug-in for Xcode, all in a proper Mac-style
installer.
