I am not aware of a "tradition", but I know two references.
In the book A course in constructive algebra (Mines, Richman, Ruitenburg)
there is a very short outline of category theory.
There is a machine checked formalization inside constructive type theory by
Huet and Saibi. http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/huet98constructive.html
The impression I got from both approaches is that basic constructive category
theory is fairly similar to its its classical counter part, which might
explain the apparent lack of tradition.
I hope this is of any use.
