Not yet. Waldek is working on gcc-4.x support, but it's still in alpha stage. Porting to a major new backend version is much more work than creating a diff. When it's ready for general use, it will be announced here.
If can, how I use mkdiff? I've been tried to do it, but I've been get many errors(no such file or directory).
It's mainly meant for developers. I'm not sure if the script is still up-to-date. I haven't used it for a long time (I created diffs manually or with other scripts), and I don't know if Waldek did. But it's only for the manual part of making a fresh diff. Updating the contents of the diffs (to cater for major backend changes, and to work-arond or fix new backend problems) is something an automatic script can't do. :-) Leave alone the work required in the frontend ...
What can I do?
If you want to help supporting gcc-4.1.x, please get in touch with Waldek, to see how you can help, and to avoid duplicating work he already did.

Frank, Thanks by the answer. How can I contact Waldek? I want to know if may I help anyway. I don't know many pascal and don't know how gcc works, but I think that I can help by testing...
I am reading the mailing list. However, during summer I spent a lot of time out of the thown, without Internet access -- so typically I can only answer after a long delay.
Concerning gcc-4.1.1: basically, it should work the same as gcc-4.1.0. For both you need gpc-20060325 + patches:
