Hi,
I suggest first seeking for help to do a command line "Hello World" for your MIPS system in the fpc developer's mailing ( [email protected] ) list and when this works, try to do a Lazarus application, as same involves compiling the LCL for MIPS which I suppose is a decent challenge.

I've not attempted compiling Lazarus for MIPS yet because of the FPC version issue and because at present I'm only running MIPS as a Qemu guest and performance is poor (in fact, I suspect is worse than when I first installed it). It runs well on SPARC which is one of the more demanding platforms in terms of alignment requirements etc.

Much of the performance issue could be sidestepped by doing a cross-build, but that's something that I've always managed to avoid. Note that for non-x86 targets there are a couple of IDE issues relating to the target processor type, opcode formats and so on (just leave these set to the default).
