No.

You can achieve similar results by making a variable length array and 
passing the array as an parameter:

   type arg_array is array( Positive range <> ) of integer;

   procedure process_args( args : arg_array ) is
   begin
     null;
   end process_args;

...

   process_args( ( 1, 2, 3 ) );

If you need to have different argument types you can either make the 
elements of the array tagged or variant types.
