No.

The compiler would not know which procedure should be main because the main
procedure can be called anything you like.

However It can be a child procedure to a package. I use this feature quite
often when I have packages just for one program. Works like this:

package My_Package is
end My_Package;

procedure My_Package.My_Main is
begin
 ....
end My_Package.My_Main;
