I agree with Eric. Some additional points: You could write a 64bit DOS extender but you would also have to change e.g. Watcom C or DJGPP to work with a 64bit DOS extender or you cannot write application programs in C or C++ using 64bit. Also while in 64bit mode you have no 16bit support so the extender would have to e.g. switch between modes all the time.
I ported a subset of Xlib called nano-X to DOS. Based on that I ported FLTK. This would allow to add a GUI looking like e.g. Windows XP to FreeDOS with limited effort. It would still be a single-tasking system though. But you could easily make the desktop and applications based on this run on a Linux kernel too.
