If you want freepascal in particular go to:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2174
and download the deb package you want. You will may need more then one
package, I don't use this so can't give more detail in it.

You might check out http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/ as well.
FYI RPM packages can be convert to debs using alien.

Install via the command line like this:
sudo dpkg -i <package name>

Good luck
