Yes, but we warned it is slow. The git protocol is a LOT faster than HTTP.

   $ git clone http://github.com/graemeg/freepascal.git

Github supports cloning using both the git protocol over port 9418 and
HTTP over port 80. Using the later is very slow (Reference - see url
below). You should open port 9418 on your firewall or use HTTP cloning
otherwise.

The repository is hosted on GitHub's servers, so I don't have any
control over what can be installed or not.  I would suggest you ask you
admin to open up port 9418 on the firewall instead - I really don't see
the issue with this.
