I somehow doubt it -- but I could be wrong. Pascal had a very
different way of approaching disk storage and perripherals altogether.
It was a completely alternate OS in every way possible. Maybe, if the
only dependency in DOS.MASTER is the sector ordering information, it
might be possible to get something working. But AFAIK, DOS.MASTER was
a total modification of dos 3.3 to replace RWTS logic with
prodos-compatible calls. So PASCAL.MASTER would probably have to be a
similar errort, borrowing much from DOS.MASTER but still its own effort
altogether.
(though the name "pascal master" sounds rather impressive -- like
you're a procedural programming force to be reckoned with)
