I've used VP/IX  on a sun386i and was somewhat happy most of the time.

They do lots of "magic" into the kernel to flip around the 386 chip (which
isn't documentented).

I think a good portable Ms-Dos emulator in C would be much more useful.  Also I
heard gcc runs for Ms/Dos (haven't yet seen it).

I basically don't like vendors who hide source code (I agree with rms -- source
code is knowledge -- how many people can do useful things with source code
besides wizards?)
