Having issues getting cross compiling to work, so here's another idea:
What files would I need to move from Lazarus on my computer to the Pi,

better, how can I get the command Lazarus sends to FPC from my
computer so I can issue it on the Pi?
On a headless ARM system that hence can't run Lazarus, I completely did
and tested the application on a Linux PC, with everything that is not
available on the target (in that case among other stuff everything GUI
related including timers) in a "simulation" unit that provides Stimuli
and Debug outputs is appropriate classes. That can nicely be done in a
completely Object oriented way using Events (callbacks), properties and
functions.
A (physically) headless system can run Lazarus etc. without any
problems, provided that you can login using X11 (XDMCP), VNC, or SSH.
Obviously appropriate underlying libraries are needed (gtk2 or
whatever), but apart from that the only caveat is that building Lazarus
or programs of any significant size tends to be memory-intensive- but
generally within the scope of an Rpi.
