Using FPC on a mac is really easy if you are comfortable with
Terminal and I use it every days.
After that, I don't know, my Vim is for me really really more
efficient that any text editor :)
Installation is easy. You need to install the developer tools
(Xcode, but the GCC linker is the important thing), but both the
Xcode and FPC installers are Mac standard installers, no trouble.
(Perhaps the best feature with the Mac is the excellent installation
systems.) After installing Xcode, you can trash the entire Developer
folder if you don't want the applications (freeing up most of the
disk space). The important things are installed in /usr/local, which
is only visible from the Terminal.
If command-line work is all you want, the Terminal is what you want.
Plus a text editor. Nobody (?) does text editing on the command line
any more, but there are plenty of nice text editor to choose from.
It is not true :)
The command line is far from the faster way for efficient work and vim/
emacs are the more powerfull than any other text editor.
Developper tools are provided with your install DVD of Mac OS X. You
need them but I am sure you should use it with FreePascal. I find it
really not appropriated.
Some people like TextWrangler, you can try it

May be you should use Lazarus, which is like Delphi if you know it.

Be carefull this page is not up-to-date. That's reminds me I should
