If you don't want the hassle of doing the port yourself, I suggest looking
for EmTeX - it contains a 32-bit executable (tex386) and all the other bits
you need, in one (free) package.

It's DVI viewer (dviscr) will do hi-res on some cards (we've had it working
at 800x600 at least). Another alternative is to run a windows DVI viewer in
hi-res (assuming your card comes with windows drivers...)

EmTeX should be around on lots of FTP sites
(eg. tex.aston.ac.uk:/systems/msdos)

Hope this helps
