Yes, there is a DOS interface to MS SQL-Server.  It is called DBLIB, and is 
available on all MS platforms (DOS, Win16, and Win32).  It is a C interface to 
SQL Server, and is used by many of the tools that come with MS SQL-Server (ISQL 
for example).

I doubt it would be possible to get it to work with DJGPP, however, since it 
only comes in library form (which is MS library format, not DJGPP format).  
Probably your best alternative would be to play around with DJGPP+RSXNTDJ to 
see whether they will work with the Win32 version of DBLIB (which is basically 
just a bunch of DLLs + associated headers).

Good luck!
Peter
