I am speaking from ignorance here, but I would seriously doubt it. I don't think Apple would spend one minute building OS 9 tools into a new developer tool. Maybe the Carbon stuff would work, but I doubt it. At the very least I don't think it could build all the resources and stuff.

The compiler/linker tool suite used by Xcode only builds Mach-O binaries -- it can't build the CFM binaries required for OS 9. (Xcode can build resource files from Rez input, though.)
If you need to build for OS 9 on OS X, the only solution available is Metrowerks CodeWarrior.

You might also be able to use MPW in Classic mode. Not sure, I've never tried it. But that would be a free solution.

I tried it out, and MPW does indeed seem to work in the Classic environment. I haven't tried compiling anything yet, but I assume it will work since the MPW shell seems to work fine.
You can get MPW (free) at:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/index.html
I wonder if you can build FileMaker plugins or Palm Conduits with it. Both of those require CodeWarrior to build.

'Back in the day' when I used CW and MPW I think I remember that the .o formats of their static object libraries were different between the two, so you had to have separate CW and MPW compatible .o files.
I don't know how the SDKs for FileMaker or Palm are distributed. If they link against static object libraries, you will probably need MPW compatible ones. If they only supply CW type libraries, then you may be out of luck on that. If they use shared libraries (type 'shlb') then it will probably all work fine with MPW.
Maybe there are some FM or Palm developer groups that could answer that more definitively.
