Yes, you can if you turn on the Allow Globals option in your project options. Then you can just do the following code:

interface

method GlobalMethod: Integer; public;

implementation

It is not recommended to use this construction. A more .Net way is to use a static/class method on a class.

type
  TSomeClass = public class
  public
    class method GlobalMethod: Integer;
  end;

// Call like this
I := TSomeClass.GlobalMethod;
