Of course. Even though DJASM misses a few opcodes, as long as you can
emit raw bytes, it should work. Heck, GAS supports 16-bit now (and
obviously NASM works too). And technically it could support building
with all of them, why not? (Then again, to put it mildly, TASM code is
pretty TASM-specific, but hey, that's what disassemblers are
for!)    :-)
