Questions: If I test/modify the FPC unit for GPC, and give credit where due, can that be put into GPC as an available interface? I'd probably use the Extended Pascal module syntax rather than the uses syntax, unless one of you tells me that will cause problems. Do I need permission from someone before starting? (Don't want to do an effort then find out it can't go back into GPC.)
You need permission from the author of the FPC unit. Provided it's released under a free license, you have this permission, and the license also tells which kind of acknowledgements are required.
PS: I'd suggest to try and contact the author(s) anyway. It's good style to let them know in advance of any such ports, and perhaps they might have some hints ...
