If you want to have the public version, please use
 
ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/private/old

there are the binaries

 
gnat-3.11p-mips-sgi-irix5.3-bin.tar.gz

It seems that there are no newer public version exist.

But SGI distributes a version that seems not to be public,
the current version is SGI-Ada 1.4.1, which seems to be 
something like gnat3.12. We have some university-license, 
which includes Ada. (I guess that Ada is generally included 
in university-licenses, but the people from SGI usually do 
not install it because it is not used very often.)

There is also some other problem, the 64bit support in the 
newer SGI-Ada versions seems to be disappeared. I recently 
asked a question in gnatlist, but no response yet.

I would suggest to contact your seller, there is a separate 
CD in the software, which includes the SGI-Ada compiler, 
only if this fails, I would use the somewhat outdated version 
3.11p from the site above.

Good luck !
