Thank you for the interest you are giving to FPC. Indeed, FPC is supported upstream on *BSD, and we shouldn't get any issue making it available for Debian for any of these targets.
However a new FPC version (2.4.0) is being released and we should focus on it instead of 2.2.4. Once it is released, I'll try to create the packages for both armel/linux and */kfreebsd.
