IMVHO it could be even better if it doesen't need a function call.
Just something like :
--8<--
#if defined(__DJGPP_PROTECT_TEXT)
static int _djgpp_protect_text=1;
#else
static int _djgpp_protect_text=0;
#endif
--8<--
in an header file. So if I define __DJGPP_PROTECT_TEXT the text is 
protected. It's just a portability issue: if I place a function call in 
the code, I'll have to strip it out when porting. If I define a macro, 
I've just do leave it out :-)

Just my $.02
