Not really. DJGPP v1 was an unpleasant experience that inspired me to buy 
Borland 3.1. Speaking of Borland, TurboC, versions 1 through 2.01 are free 
for all from their museum site (somewhere at the main Inprise site, a quick
search should get you there). 16 bit, no DPMI. (and no v1 go32 either)

There are numerous other free 16bit C compilers out there that vary widely
in usefulness and such, but you'd probably have to do some heavy duty
mucking around
to find them these days.
