I think the answer to your question is ... There is no way at the moment
to 
use DirectX w/ djgpp.  But keep the kit a see if you can figure out a
work around.
I'm sure you know of the many Game dev. libs for djgpp (i.e. Allegro).
If you need
something right now.

Mr. Lee

BTW- where did you get the DirectX kit?
