You're in for some bumpy ride.  Start by downloading the DJGPP FAQ list 
(faq102.zip from the same place you got DJGPP) and reading it.  It will 
hopefully answer most of your questions.  No, you cannot ``just dump 
Watcom projects straight into it'', at least the Makefiles will have to 
change.  And yes, DJGPP uses a different paradigm to access video memory, 
although if you are familiar with accessing absolute addresses in 
protected mode, the DJGPP method will make sense to you.
