The biggest challenge would probably be hooking up the DOS API to handle serial and network communications.  It's difficult to believe it's been left undone for 18 years but I guess people were fine with just using the Windows gdbserver.

If you would like to work on adding DJGPP support to gdbserver, I can
take care of pushing the changes upstream (if the code changes are
substantial, you may need to sign legal papers for your code to be
admitted).
