The short answer:  No.

The long answer:  DJGPP is a DOS-native compiler; it cannot inherently
produce Windows-native code; therefore it cannot use or create DLLs. 
However, there exist numerous add-on toolkits that either allow you to
produce things similar to DLLs for DJGPP programs, and there is even a
toolkit which allows DJGPP to produce Win32-native code.  It's called
rsxntdj and is available from SimTel mirrors in the same place you got
DJGPP.  Be sure to read the insructions before using it!!
