I have good news, and I have bad news ;-).
The good news are that Emacs is looking for an executable program Ispell,
not for ispell.el (which you have). A DJGPP port of Ispell is available
as v2gnu/isp3120b.zip, from the same place you got the DJGPP port of
Emacs. You need to download and install it.
However, the bad news are that the Ispell support in Emacs won't work in
the DJGPP port, because it relies on asynchronous subprocesses which the
DJGPP version of Emacs doesn't support.
So, once you install Ispell, you will need to run it as an external
program (it has its own screen driver).
