Yes.  You can bind Ada routines directly to the GNU/Linux (C exported)
API for the board.  Fictive example:

   subtype Port_Number is Interfaces.C.int range 0 .. 3;
   procedure Initialize (Port : in    Port_Number);
   pragma Import (Convention    => C,
                  Entity        => Initialize,
                  External_Name => "binit");

I think you have misunderstood how the Arduino platform works.  You can
write Ada (with some limitations) applications directly for the Arduino
platform without going through Processing or the Arduino IDE.

Greetings,

Jacob
