How incompatible?  Does it crash your machine?  What exactly happens?

DJGPP v2.0 will have its own free DPMI server, but that's a few
months from now.  NDOS 7 probably also has a memory manager which
provides VCPI services, maybe called EMM386 or something.  If it
does, you can load it and include nodpmi in your go32 environment
variable.  Then go32 will provide some DPMI services itself, and
won't use the one supplied with NDOS.
