I'm not sure what you mean by "SNA Gateway(Communications Server)". There are a number of products called "SNA Gateway". They only one(s) I know of that are "Communication Server"s are the IBM one for AIX and maybe for AS/400. I think both AIX and AS/400 support EE, but I'm not sure what the software is called. Do you maybe mean the microsoft SNA gateway? I think it supports EE. So do Cisco routers through the Cisco SNASwitch. SNASw and DLSw can run in the same router with a virtual LAN between them. That is sort of the standard was of supporting DLSW-connected SNA devices. If your remote routers are powerful enough you can run SNASw out at the remote sites and benefit from HPR APPN all the way out to those devices, but I think it is more common to replace the FEP with a DLSw/SNASw router.
