Not that I'm aware of.

If you want to write graphical applications for X-Windows then you
need a binding to either X itself (ie. Xlib), or a toolkit (ie. Motif,
GTK, QT etc.).

X-Windows is a scary and mystical place, where men are men and Orcs
have 18 HD each[1]. Don't go there.

There are bindings to Xt and GTK that I'm aware of, there's RPMs
available from http://www.gnuada.org

KDE itself doesn't, AFAIK, provide any graphical capability in and of
itself, but builds on top of QT, and there isn't an Ada binding to QT
AFAIK.
