Yep they are. The only requirement is that you need to use the latest SVN revision of FreePascal and a FreePascal dialect called Objective-Pascal which can directly call Objective-C classes without any additional wrapper, library or layer.
For more information go to http://objectivepascal.com/. On Ryan's page there is a pretty handy Objective-Pascal installer which automatically checks out the latest SVN revision, compiles FreePascal and parses and creates all necessary Cocoa headers.
