has anybody ever seen a Lisp syntax front-end for Ada?

You mean something like

(with Ada.Text_IO
  (procedure Hello is
   (Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello, World"))))

?

If you mean Lisp to Ada.  The answer is no.  As for Ada to Lisp, the 
answer is still no. Most Lisp people are having too much fun playing 
with Lisp and trying to improve Lisp to deal with Ada. And Ada people 
are doing their thing with Ada.

There may be a "Interface.LISP" package but I am not sure about that.

Long time ago, there was an Ada compiler on a Symbolics machine, which 
was a Lisp machine. Long, long time ago...

Maybe the OP was referring to a compiler front-end written in Lisp
that would parse Ada sources? Was the Ada compiler you describe like
that?

The prototype Ada compiler I worked on at Stanford had its front-end  
written in MacLisp.  It was a very effective vehicle for working with the  
abstract syntax tree.

Honestly, I don't know. I must have thrown all documentations about this 
  compiler ten years ago, on grounds of total obsolescence...

For an Symbolics Lisp Machine emulator try:

   http://www.unlambda.com/

follow the link for "Symbolics Lisp Machines and emulation"

And if you email the "Brad Parker" (check mailing list for address) he 
may be able to help in finding the software!  The problem is that it 
will be in the Symbolics Lisp, so you may need to convert to current 
LISP that you wish to use.

And let's not even *talk* about Forth people...

text_io ada dot_selector with "hello, world" begin put_line text_io
ada dot_selector dot_selector end hello define_procedure

(OK, I don't really know Forth at all---I'm just making this up.)

Ada-ASSURED is a powerful tool that ensures consistent coding style, 
prevents syntax errors, and provides productivity features for writing 
and reviewing Ada code. It features language-sensitive editing, 
automatic standards enforcement, high-quality pretty printing, and 
hypertext browsing in a single package. It can be used with any Ada 
compiler.

Ada-ASSURED's open architecture enables you to create custom tools or 
integrate it with existing tools to automate tasks. The power of 
Ada-ASSURED's scripting language comes from its structured internal 
representation of your code. Ada-ASSURED automatically categorizes each 
construct in your file. In contrast, if you use text-oriented tools like 
awk, sed, grep, or perl, you must do the categorization yourself. As a 
result, tasks performed with difficulty using a text-oriented tool are 
often much easier in Ada-ASSURED.

http://www.grammatech.com/aadoc/scripting-language.html

The scripting language of Ada-ASSURED is based on Scheme. Scheme is a 
powerful general-purpose programming language derived from Lisp. 
Although its syntax may be unfamiliar to you, it is easy to master. The 
real benefit of Scheme, however, is not its syntactic simplicity, but 
its semantic power.
