Most of the DOS4GW games have been working since dosemu0.53.48. 
They're due to release 0.60 on April 1st (supposedly stable release).
Among other things, the docs with 0.53.54 state:

  - Runs several 32-bit DPMI-compilant video games, including DOS/4GW,
     at the Linux console.  A partial list of successfully tested games 
     includes DOOM2, Heretic, Descent, MK2, OMF2097, ROTT, and WarCraft!

I've been able to get it to start, but it's pretty slow, and I've had 
some problems with keyboard control (on a 486-33 with 8 MB) as well
as frequent lockups. According to the EMUsuccess.txt file, 
xp...@sun.felk.cvut.cz has been able to get it to work since 0.53.49, 
so this would probably be the best person to contact.

BTW, dosemu's official site is at tsx-11.mit.edu in 
/pub/linux/ALPHA/dosemu, with the really unstable versions in the 
Development directory.
