The newest config.guess knows about DJGPP and it reports always
'i386-pc-msdosdjgpp'. (because uname prints pc instead of the
processor).
But I think this really not so important because there are only some
few GNU packages which really depend on the host or target system
(gcc, gdb, binutils, ..). If you want to build such a package
for an specific processor, simply overwrite the system name
on commandline like

configure --host=i686-pc-msdosdjgpp
