Answers are: it depends on your skills. Sure.

The first thing to do is to reproduce the Debian package
structure with GCC 2.8.1:

  gcc-2.8.1
      |
      +--------gnat-3.15p-src
      |
      +--------ada
      
by moving gnat-3.15p-src/src/ada two levels up. Then apply
gnat-3.15p-src/src/gcc281.dif with -p0 into gcc-2.8.1.

Then apply Debian patch and fix failing parts. Use 3.15p where 3.14p
was used. Add new platform depend files into the Makefiles if needed
(for example, SparcLinux is not if I remember correctly a natively
supported configuration).

The build and enjoy :-)
