There is conflicting evidence. Many feel there is an increased prevalance of aneurysms throughout the arterial bed... some data from the 90s/early 2000s disagree with this.

Marfan syndrome is associated with "Aortic aneurysm" (source: Pathoma), not berry aneurysm.
I am assuming you're using FA 2014 edition? (In which they mentioned marfan's with berry aneurysm). But they have corrected their mistake in FA 2015. No marfan's mentioned with berry aneurysm.

DIT 2015 and UTD also agree that there are no association between Marfan and Berry Aneurysm.

Marfan is considered to not be associated.
