I don't see the compiler yet in MacPorts--I suppose that is why you
said "test version."

I _think_ that given any working compiler, it is probably
straightforward to install the Xcode plugin for "perfect OS X
integration."

I'm willing to to a little tweaking but might have to ask stupid
questions.

How would you incorporate this into MacPorts since it requires another
working Ada installation? (I do have a compiler that works under
10.4.11 on PPC.) Recall that I need Ada 2005 running on PPC hardware,
and 10.5.x (Leopard) OS X.
