Not in any dialect of Pascal I've ever seen. You can (probably) have

type Num = 1 .. 4;

or

type Num = (One, Two, Three, Four);

(I say "probably" because I don't have a Pascal compiler available, and
it's been some time since I used Pascal.)

The equivalents in Ada are

subtype Num is Integer range 1 .. 4;

and

type Num is (One, Two, Three, Four);
