It seems OK, however, if you want portability too, you should:

uses
  ctypes;

{$PACKRECORDS C} // already commented by Michael

type
  sockaddr_ll = record
    sll_family: cushort;
    sll_protocol: cushort;
    sll_ifindex: cint;
    sll_hatype: cushort;
    sll_pkttype: cuchar;
    sll_halen: cuchar;
    sll_addr: array[0..7] of cuchar;
 end;

cheers
