You can:
1. Use the _dpmi_..._chain_...() function to chain interrupts.
2. Try something like this:

void call_old_int (void);
void call_old_int_offset (void);
void call_old_int_selector (void);
asm ("
        .text
        .global _call_old_int
_call_old_int:
        pushf
        .byte  0x9a
        .global _call_old_int_offset
_call_old_int_offset:
        .byte  0x00
        .byte  0x00
        .byte  0x00
        .byte  0x00
        .global _call_old_int_selector
_call_old_int_selector:
        .byte  0x00
        .byte  0x00
        ret
");

static int
install_intterupt
(
void
)
{
  /* dpmi_seginfo ... here  */

  disable ();
  /* get old vector here    */

  *(unsigned short *)call_old_int_selector = old_si.pm_selector;
  *(unsigned int   *)call_old_int_offset   = old_si.pm_offset;

  /* set new interrupt here */
  enable ();
  return (1);
}
