In a free turbine engine both turbine sections are not mechanically linked, so windmilling of the propeller would not drive the gas generator turbine which usually drives the gearbox to which the oil pump is geared to.
The prop control has its own oil pump, at least in the props I'm familiar with, thus not dependent on the engine oil pump. The prop system may even have its own independent reservoir.
