Think Pascal produces 68K code (which thus runs in emulation on PPC).
$180 or so
MetroWerks CodeWarrior produces 68K and native PPC code.
$399 for the full-bore version, noncommercial may be cheaper
These both support "object Pascal", but it is a different dialect
than Borland. The features are comparable, but some massaging of
source (potentially automated) would be required.

Unix is a generic term for a class of operating systems which have
a common cultural ancestry (although not a common codebase ancestry).
I can probably name about 10 different operating systems called Unix,
and I am just an amateur. Each Unix vendor will have a different story
to tell about their Pascal offerings.
