I would suggest something along the lines of the C/C++ implementation,

Using some of the documented examples in the v2.5 spec:
Example A.1.1:
procedure a1(n: Integer; a: PSingleArray; b: PSingleArray);
var
i: Integer;
begin
{$omp parallel for}
for i := 1 to n - 1 do
b^[i] := (a^[i] + a^[i - 1]) / 2.0;
end;
Brrr.... using local defines look not native to the language.
Why not something like as (refered in another thread) pascal-fc which
uses cobegin..coend or known blocks like asm..end; try..end;
for instance:
omp..end;
parralel..end;
One of the pretexts behind OpenMP is that the code will still compile if
OpenMP is not available or disabled on a particular compiler. That's
the reason behind using compiler directives instead of new keywords.
Using compiler directives similar to the C/C++ directives also means
that the wealth of information already out there is instantly applicable
to the Pascal version.
