Requirements:

  1. Apple developer tools and X11
  1. compile the fpc ide

you need: compiler, rtl, (maybe base packages, fcl and extra packages), fvision and ide.
after the compilation of fvision, create an alias (symlink) of the directory fvision named fv in the fpc directory.
ln -s fvision fv then compile the ide (there is no debugger library, just neglect the resulting warning)

   cd ide
   make clean all 
  1. install the vga font for xterm

download the vga font here: http://home.earthlink.net/~us5zahns/enl/vga.pcf
for more docs on changing the Xterm font look here: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x606.html
copy the font to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/

   mv your_download_dir/vga.pcf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/

check and set file permissions (you have to be root to do this):

   cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
   chown root:wheel vga.pcf; chmod 444 vga.pcf

start an xterm in X11 and do:

   cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
   mkfontdir
   xset fp rehash

Now you should be able to start xterm with the vga font by:

   xterm -font vga

It is useful to define this as a customized command in X11 (Menu Applications -> Customize...)

  1. start the ide in an xterm
   cd your_path/fpc/ide
   ./fp

In order to get Alt-x you have to press ESC and x.
Here is an example image:
