Sure.
I mean something like following (completely artificial example):

function PureFunc1: ...
function F(arg: Integer): Integer;
var s:Integer;
begin
  s:=0;
  for i:=0 to 100 do
     s:=s+PureFunc(arg);
  Result:=s;
end;

Of course, the real value of pure functions for optimization oppotunities is some combination of generics and closures, but that's completely another story...
