> I was wondering if gcc/djgpp ever uses the fs and gs registers. From disassembling a djgpp-compiled exe, I found some references to fs (no idea what's stored there though) but gs appears unused.

Both are used, although FS is used more frequently.  See
<sys/farptr.h> and <libc/farptrgs.h>; the latter is specifically for
code internal to the library.
