Interesting document. Do I have to install Interface Builder and
XCode to use FPC?
You have to install the Xcode tools, which comes with Interface
Builder, gcc, assembler, linker, headers, documentation, examples etc.
Are any *simple* examples available for creating OSX gui apps?
There's one here (using Carbon):

Excellent, just what I was after. Are there any more, especially
Cocoa?
You can find quite a few at http://www.pascal-central.com/
Depends on who you ask. But Apple has made it clear that they want to
move forward primarily with Cocoa.
How good is the FPC for each? Is there a separate install for both?
There is only one install, but currently FPC only ships with
interfaces to Carbon routines (and other APIs that have procedural
interfaces). Some people are also working on an interface to Cocoa,
