No. To compile .rc files to .res you still need windres. In general you 
can compile and run it fine on little endian machines, but it doesn't 
work (at least, it didn't work 6 months ago, don't know if newer 
versions are endian safe) on big endian machines.
So there is still no .rc compiler. However the 2.3.1 fpcres is able to 
compile dfm/lfm/xfm files.

With RTL functions like FindResource, LoadResource and so on. 
TResourceStream uses these functions.
