No, there is only the SourceForge download count, but even that is on enough because it doesn't take into account any SubVersion or Git repo users, OS package installs (from Linux distros and FreeBSD) etc. There simply isn't a way to accurately determine the number of active FPC or Lazarus users. This is the general case for all open source software.

the sourceforge stats are pretty impressive

I would be interested to know what the "unknown" list of Top OSes contain. Which OSes would register such a large group?

The Android download count, also in Top OSes, is also surprising. What, do people download FPC from their mobile phones?

Count FreeBSD in. I'm using it and have never installed the ports, always downloads via the web sites of fpc and lazarus.

Maybe some Raspberry Pi or the like, those can be running Android.

Also anybody downloading using wget etc., since this can be more resilient than a browser. This sort of thing usually won't return a user agent string that looks like IE/Firefox by default, although it can often be told to.

Possibly downloading onto a 'phone or tablet because it's what's got the Internet connection (3G or whatever) before transferring to a real computer.

Ah yes, that would make sense. I'm not sure what FreeBSD's ports system uses to download source archives, but I would bet wget or something similar.

FreeBSD has its own program :
