Before posting here, i asked a question about binary emulation on
openbsd-misc (http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=123688274008042&w=2).
If i combine the answers i got there with a little openbsd-misc
archive-searching, i can say that OpenBSD's emulation capabilities are
at least problematic nowdays.
So, my answer to my initial question would be, most probably, no.
Regarding a "fresh start", as Marco van de Voort put it, i have found
some info in the wiki (namely
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Porting_Free_Pascal and
http://wiki.freepascal.org/RTL_development_articles).

The other would be only
creating assembler files on the source platform using -s parameter and
copying these to the target platform to assemble and link the ppc386/fpc
binary there (possibly after adjusting some paths in the linker script).
I do not fully understand this process. From the fpc man page:
-s Tells the compiler not to call the assembler and linker.
Instead, the compiler writes a script, PPAS.BAT under DOS, or ppas.sh
under Linux, which can then be executed to produce an executable.
There is not much info beyond that. So, a shell script is produced under
linux? That could be a potential problem since OpenBSD uses the korn
shell and linux uses the bash shell.
In any case, if anybody has a few pointers on how i could begin a fresh
start, please submit them.
