Quite good ;-)

In fact, only lang/gnat port is necessary to run a standard GNAT 
toolchain.

I don't really see what you mean by toolchain integration but once the 
port is installed, the toolchain is functional without any further 
manipulation.
About GtkAda, the problem is different. I tested it long time ago but 
after installing the port, I decided to compile it from scratch.

The only problem I ran to was mith the compilation of the toolchain for 
MarteOS but that's a different story :D
