I don't know cnpack for Delphi, but I presume you mean the vertical
lines connecting begin/end blocks. If so, there is a way to get a
similar effect in Lazarus. This is what I have done for Lazarus Trunk
(I also have a patch for Lazarus 0.9.30.x if you need).

In synedit.pp change the value of SYNEDIT_DEFAULT_VISIBLESPECIALCHARS
to vscTabAtFirst. Recompile Lazarus. Then enable "show special
characters" in the editor options. If you use TAB indentation (like I
do), instead of 2xSpace indentation, then by increasing the tab width
enhances the visual effect. See attached screenshot.
