You'd have to create a docset out of the Free Pascal documentation  
(plain html does not cut it). I think this would require adding  
support for the docset format to the fpdoc utility. The format is  
documented here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/Documentation_Sets/000-Introduction/chapter_1_section_1.html

The officially supported way to create a docset is to use doxygen, but  
FPC does not use doxygen for its documentation (fpdoc is a homegrown  
utility).
