On top of this, the BBB (within the AM335x Chip by TI) provides two

Theoretically, yes. If it actually just is a standard Cortex-M3 core
then it should work fine, and you would only have to add the RTL stubs,
and compiler/arm/cpuinfo.pas+t_embed.pas entries for the cores.
However, I have a suspicion that it won't be that easy since it's a
complex setup, and it's made by TI :)
Apparently there's a kernel module to handle the loading, but the
sticking point might be that each coprocessor has a limited code space
(8K?).
