You basicly have three options if you want a framework that is portable:

TASH
GtkAda
or any X binding and running and X Server on Windows / OSX, etc.

The other option is to design your software in a way that your GUI code is
written with the best API per platform (performance, looks, compatability
with OS services, etc.)

GtkAda for Linux and GWindows for windows  :-)
