We downloaded a package for Motif bindings in DEC Ada from the
PAL. See: "languages/ada/bindings/motif/dec" if you want to
download the code or contact Bevin Brett of Digital Equioopment
Corporation (brett@peon.enet.dec.com) who is credited as the
guilty party. We couldn't compile it because we didn't have the
latest version of the compiler, so I can't endorse it fully.

Also, there's a product called XInada by a company called Top
Graph'X (10 Allee de la Mare Jacob, 91290 - La Norville - FRANCE.

Motif, directly in Ada across a number of platforms and at a
reasonable price. (Saw them at the TriAda show - they had stuff
that's cool!)

Both are, IMHO, worth looking at as cost effective solutions.
