I'd say it is technically impossible to port OpenJDK to DOS as you do 
not have any of the necessary operating system support for threads, 
synchronization, virtual memory, ....

It might be possible to write a Java bytecode interpreter that runs on 
DOS, but there would be a lot of missing functionality IMO.
