In general, this is not supported (and personally I've never done it). You have to build an Apple tool chain (assembler, linker) on a Linux host, which is not supported by Apple, and then copy a Mac OS X SDK to your Linux machine. Additionally, for -Xg functionality (in combination with DWARF debug information) the dsymutil program is required, but since it's not open source it is definitely not possible to build it for Linux.

I think your best bet is to google general information about cross-compiling from Linux to Mac OS X. I think there is nothing FPC-specific about it, except for maybe pointing the compiler to the SDK (use the -XR command line parameter for that).
