It took more time then I thought, but finally got it working.

I've added a fppkg-repository for fpc-version 3.0.4 to fpc.cnoc.nl. And 
added a recent version of utils-pas2js. (Which is the actual 
package-name of pas2js)

In principle this means that you can install pas2js with the following 
command-line:

fppkg install utils-pas2js

Then the pas2js binary will be in ~/.fppkg/bin/pas2js.

There are a few buts, though:
- You need a valid fppkg-configuration
- You need to set in your fppkg.cfg:
     RemoteMirrors=http://fpc.cnoc.nl/repo/testing/mirrors.xml
- Fppkg wil not automatically update packages, but you need
   updated versions of fcl-web, fcl-js and fcl-passrc. This means
   you have to update them manually:
     fppkg install fcl-js fcl-passrc fcl-web
- Fppkg version 3.0.4 has an irritating bug that it can get into an
   infinite loop. When this happens, kill it (ctrl-c) and run
     fppkg fixbroken
   until it does not happen anymore.

I've only tested it on my own system, so there might be issues but just 
ask, see if I can help.
