I had a close look at my port. In its pkg-descr it says:
GNU Pascal is part of the GNU compiler family, GNU CC or GCC. It combines a Pascal front-end with the proven GNU C back-end for code generation and optimization. Unlike utilities such as p2c, this is a true compiler, not just a converter.
The current release 2.0 implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185, level 1), a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206), and Borland Pascal.

On the other hand # gpc -v delivers:
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386--freebsd4.3/2.8.1/specs gpc version 19990118, based on gcc-2.8.1
Perhaps you know what happened?
Probably the comment hadn't been updated then (2.0 is much older than 19990118).
So, what would a FreeBSD have to do to get this port (I've no idea of it ports system and what to tell the users)?
And - of course I do not dare to give this advice - there also is FreePascal forFreeBSD. It will install without any problems.
But it will not compile my sources. ;-)
