About Freepascal - they want to support DOS but all key developers are busy with another things so nobody spend his energy to support DOS actively. However from time to time some patch for DOS occurs.
Freepascal can be now considered as quite mature even for DOS except IDE. But hey, DJGPP and Freebasic don't have IDE at all!
You can use FPC 2.2.0 with some other text editor - for example Setedit.

Delphi 1 realy can compile for DOS using one undocumented switch. Problem is that there are no standard units for DOS available. However it can be solved by recompiling the sources. Who wants to know more read here: http://www.int21h.ic.cz/users/Laaca/data/delphdos.zip

You are right - there exists a project DWP, project which make Delphi 2-7 to compile for DOS. Look here: http://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/d50free/dwpl.htm
You write program in Delphi in windows environment, place buttons, checkboxes, etc. and then you click to Compile. And voila, your graphical windows program compiles into textmode DOS program. All graphics objects are represented in textmode versions - it looks very similar to Turbovision programs.
