You can place an image into a BITMAP resource and add it to the package 
using {$R mybitmap.res}. Image must be in .bmp format.

But if you want to add a png resource there are few problems:
1. Windows does not have a png resource type.
2. FPC does not know how to interprete {$R afile.png}
3. TPortableNetworkGraphics class has no method to load from a windows 
resource.

You can try to solve those problems starting from the first.

Best regards,
