Sort of.  It isn't a part of the language, but it is easily done using 
the VIRTUAL_TERMINAL package.

VIRTUAL_TERMINAL.Move_Cursor_To(LINE => Y, COL => X);

FAQ: Where do I find the VIRTUAL_TERMINAL package?
It is in the book Ada in Action.

FAQ: But isn't Ada in Action out of print?
Yes, but it about to appear on the net in electronic form Real Soon Now.
Watch this space for an announcment.
