It depends on what you could locate in Delphi (or C++) source code.
Implementing everything from scratch, using the MSDN documentation would be
possible but would require a lot of work. But if you could start with a
complete source example, turning that into FPC would be simpler (although it
would still require a basic understanding of how COM works).

I often use COM/OLE from FPC (and sometimes, unfortunately, from C which is
equivalent to FPC in this respect), the first time you do it you have to
write (or collect) some helper routines but later on, it's not that
complicated. You certainly have to provide the glue for the various elements
yourself but if you had already done it once, the code structure is reusable.
