Sure -- there are Pascal compilers for OS/2.

On the freeware side, there's a utility called p2c, available via
anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  That, in conjunction with a C
compiler, will allow you to compile Pascal code.  (p2c is a Pascal to
C translator.)

On the commercial side, I use Clarion's TopSpeed Pascal.  The version
I have is 16-bit, but I understand they are working on a 32-bit
version.

There are other compilers.  Even Microsoft's Pascal Compiler offers a
16-bit OS/2 version.  Check the OS/2 applications guide tinf30,
available from the ftp site above, for a full list and contacts.
