Not without other changes, probably not, but I haven't tried (re)building it myself.

There's already an old (circa 1999) "current" /v2tk/ (not "beta") build of SVGALIB for DJGPP, but I've never used it, so I don't know how well it works. See the old Linux Journal article (Sep. 1998) called Porting MS-DOS Graphics Applications.

Someone could also try to port Links to work with GRX or Allegro (but it probably won't be me!).
