The older 9801 used NEC Vxx processors and the later 9821 used x86 (386, 486 and Pentium), they shared a few bits of PC-like peripherals and ran a slightly modified version of MS-DOS and Windows, but had completely different BIOS interface, interrupts, memory map, sound and graphics hardware. Just like regular PC's, they were also immensely popular for running games :)

Someone recently started working on a PC-98 compatible fork of djgpp:

https://github.com/lpproj/djgpp-cvs.nec/commit/ff819a64c2265ea45675489b18d4cecd91b28e4b

I personally have no experience with PC-98, so I don't know how complete it is.
