As I recall, Apple-Pascal is rev 2 of the P-system.  As of rev 4.x (this was
3 years ago) there was a native code generator available for some versions
of the P-system (I saw this on a (68000) Sage 4 (now Stride 440)).  
The NGC translated P-code to machine code on a per procedure block basis
(I think.) It might be that there is a newer version of Apple-Pascal 
that supports this.

This sounds doable.  But now you need to get a compiler that produces 
code that the P-system assembler will take. You'd probably want it to
accept the same language as standard P-system Pascal.  A NCG is probably
easier to get.
