There's GNAT GPL 2009 at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/GNAT_GPL%20Mac%20OS%20X/2009-tiger-ppc/
- do you think that would do?

The release notes start
========================================================================
This is GNAT GPL 2009, built on Mac OS X Tiger for PowerPC,
to install at /usr/local:

$ cd /usr/local
$ sudo tar xzf gnat-gpl-2009-43-powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0-bin.tgz

It includes gmp-4.3.1 and mpfr-2.4.1.

Standard tools as well as ASIS tools can be found in /usr/local/gnat-2009/bin:
gnat, gnatbind, gnatcheck, gnatchop, gnatclean, gnatelim, gnatfind, gnathtml.pl,
gnatkr, gnatlink, gnatls, gnatmake, gnatmetric, gnatname, gnatpp, gnatprep,
gnatstub, gnatsync, gnatxref.
========================================================================
so he'd need to add /usr/local/gnat-2009/bin to the front of his path.
