Of course Timo> this is up to dosemu developers. DOSEMU itself depends heavily on the Linux-kernel. New versions depend on new kernel-features. So you need kernel/vm86-support under *BSD too. There's work going on to let dosemu run in conjuntion with BOCHS, the 386-cpu-emulator. From time to time patches get incorporated into the development-tree. There are also a couple of other dos/i86-emulators out there, which may be better written than the linux-dosemulator and therefore better portable.
