You could use Pascal-to-C, p2c. Then use EMX/gcc (a GNU C compiler). This
is not for the student of Pascal, but it may help in porting software.

Caution: The lib for p2c was done with EMX 0.8d. Someone mentioned that 
the lib will need to be re-compiled with EMX/gcc 0.8e. I have tested only
under 0.8d, so I cannot confirm. However, recompilation seems to agree
with the docs for EMX.

You can find this stuff on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/2.0/programming/.
Note again that this is not an "easy" pascal. Some expertise in GNU software
may be helpful in getting this running (although, if I can do it, then most
any mammal will be able to get it working).
