No.

There was an old port of Xlib to DJGPP v1.x (the URL where you can find 
it is in section 22.4 of the DJGPP FAQ list).  But this version cannot be 
easily ported to current versions of DJGPP, because it used techniques 
some of which cannot work in the DPMI environment.  So making it work is 
not a trivial job.

Several people posted here in the past URLs of projects that aspired to 
make a DJGPP port of Xlib (search the news groups archives for those 
messages at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/), but AFAIK, no 
one produced such a port yet.

Feel free to make it happen, though: I think it would be an important 
contribution to the DJGPP project.
