The general OpenGL technique is to use gluUnProject() which takes screen x,y and the z-value of the depth-buffer and reverse-transforms that into world (or view) coordinates.
See NeHe’s tutorial on how to use it in a general OpenGL app. It should hopefully get you started in the right direction with your Delphi app.
