No, FPC does currently not support anonymous functions (please don't 
call them Lambdas... at least not with that verbose syntax ;) ). We have 
a branch where an independant developer started to work on them, but 
development there has stalled.
What you might have seen recently on this list was a discussion about a 
potential improvement of the syntax (less verbose for simpler cases).
