Probably not, unless your Freedos environment provides a C compiler
with 32-bit flat address space and a solid ANSI-compliant C library.

But if it is the old DOS crap (64k segments, 640k total memory limit,
etc), then forget it.

The last Caml version that ran (somewhat) in such an environment was
Caml Light 0.6, available at
    ftp://ftp.inria.fr/lang/caml-light/Oldies/cl6pc86bin.zip

I wonder if Objective Caml will compile with DJGPP?  Has anyone tried?

Definitely it won't compile out of the box. Before compiling Ocaml in a
non-Unix environment you have to manually configure it, create necessary
makefiles and port numerous system libs to your system (DOS-32?). It is not
that easy, if possible at all ...

As for Windows-targeted gcc, I was able to port Ocaml 3.03-alpha to the
native Win32 gcc (mingw). The patch was posted here some times ago.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Dmitry
