There should be no problems in using the same 16-bit techniques (call
functions of Int 2Fh, AH=15h) from DJGPP.  In fact, some DJGPP library
functions do just that, so you might consider looking there (e.g.,
file src/libc/compat/mntent/mntent.c in djlsr201.zip).  The DJGPP FAQ
list (v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP) explains how
to call real-mode services like Int 2Fh in sections 18.1-18.4.

If you still have problems after looking in the above resources,
please post fragments of your code that don't work and ask specific
questions.
