Hi all,
I'd suggest DOSBox too.
I've made DOSBox IPS package almost without problems.

You've got to build and install the following dependency tree:
   libsdl-guilib at 1.2.1
   libsdl-net at 1.2.7
   libsdl-sound at 1.0.3
   dosbox at 0.72

You can see my build steps at:

   http://wood.sandbox.cz/osol/libsdl-guilib.inc.txt
   http://wood.sandbox.cz/osol/libsdl-net.inc.txt
   http://wood.sandbox.cz/osol/libsdl-sound.inc.txt
   http://wood.sandbox.cz/osol/dosbox.inc.txt

Please note that you may need to install development libraries and 
headers before compiling, I'm using the following on my system:

   pfexec pkg install SUNWgcc SUNWhea SUNWsfwhea FSWxorg-headers \
                      SUNWxorg-headers SUNWbison SUNWgmake \
                      SUNWflexlex SUNWgnome-common-devel SUNWaudh \
                      SUNWlcms SUNWlibm

Cheers
Hark
