The problem you are facing is that Object Pascal is not a rigorously defined standard as can be seen the following Wikipedia article:

...so even if FreePascal would run on OpenBSD, does it emulate enough extensions to satisfy your instructor? More to the point, does it emulate Delphi enough?
These questions may not have answers, or you may find out at the worst moment. My recommendation would be to use the tools that the instructor advocates. Delphi tightly binds Windows UI-isms into the language, & depending upon where the instructor takes the course, trying to stay with OpenBSD may straying too far from his intent.
