Unlikely (afaik there is a hidden VMT pointer), and even if it did, it  
would not be guaranteed to remain that way. To be able to interface  
Objective-C code in an OOP way in FPC, support for some kind of  
Objective Pascal dialect has to be added to the compiler. Everything  
will probably break at one time or another.
