For java, this should be familiar to you :
http://developer.apple.com/java/

For Pascal, it seems that the terminal is already a closed friend and  
fpc works very well under Darwin.
Vim/Emacs are enough to make programs using fpc.
If you need an IDE, Lazarus (with the Carbon Interface) for OS X  
becomes to be good for working with it (and native Cocoa bindings are  
on the way)
Moreover, with a MacBook, you can use VMWare for emulating a Linux,  
SunOS (x86) or even Windows.

It is a delight for Cross-platform programs.
