Actually I don't think this is correct. I am sure that in this
case there is no such thing as a "straightforward GNAT port".
It would likely take a LOT of work anyway, and porting FSU
threads to VMS is certainly possible (yes it would be extra
work, but in the overall picture of the work to be done would
only be a relatively small (and straightforward) part of the
job).
Note that if someone other than Digital or ACT tries this, they
are lacking a pretty vital component which is the DEC test suite
(this is of course proprietary to Digital). I think it would be
VERY hard to get this port right without access to that suite.
