Well
I did write an Ada binding to the RTIDDS "http://www.rti.com" 
DDS-Implementation  and it used in a mixed language system,  Ada/C++/Java.
This binding is avalible as an addon to their proriarty product.
But given a resonable clean C Interface and a well structured 
codegenerator the amount of work to produce a similar binding to some 
other implementation is definitly less then 1000 hours.
The workflow I used was:

* Generate code stubs from the DDS-idl using iac from plyorb.
* Tweak the interfaces towards Ada 2005
* Generate Ada interfaces to the C-implementation using teh 
"-fdump-ada-spec in GNAT.
* Bind the things together.
* Produce a new code generator that is capable of generating Ada.
* Test
* Test
* Done
* Maintain
* ....
