No, that's not how it works. :) DOSLFNMS is built specifically for MS-DOS (at the time I believe it was the only one with the required functions).

I was just about to release 0.41f, but since you're going to do some testing I'll hold off a bit longer. In my limited experience doslfnms.com is slower on FreeDOS, so if you notice that I'll make a doslfn.com available. (It seems the code that improves speed in MS-DOS causes a slowdown in FreeDOS.)
