Yes, it is. Add {$r+} at the top of your source to turn it on, or add 
"-Cr" to the command line options of the compiler.

That's a problem of gdb not properly supporting Pascal arrays, which 
indeed can start at an index <> 0. There is a set of patches to create 
gdbpas, which may have this fixed, but I haven't built it for Mac OS X 
yet (also, you'd probably have to overwrite the system's gdb with this 
gdbpas for XCode to use it).
