It is possible. In general you can proceed the same way you would do
dynamic linking with gcc C/C++. Just remember that you have to call
an initialization function before accessing Ada stuff from another
language. After you're finished using the Ada objects you'll have to
call the finalization function.
If you want to link the run-time library dynamically, that's more
difficult. Since GNAT has no documentation on the interface between
the application code and the run-time library, building a dynamically
linked version of the RTL is much harder. I do have one for OS/2, but
it might change with each version of GNAT and that is the reason I don't
want to distribute it.

Geert
