What do you mean by this?

By "VMM" do you mean the virt-manager front-end to KVM/Xen?

https://virt-manager.org/

As in, run FreeDOS under KVM? Or, "we should port virt-manager to FreeDOS?"

Or, do you mean "we need a virtual-machine manager for DOS?"

I can't realistically see how that could be done, but as some vast
effort, I suppose it could be possible.

Or, do you mean "we need a way to run FreeDOS under KVM?"

Perhaps as a way around UEFI? That is doable.

HP distributes what it _calls_ FreeDOS but is actually an old version
of Debian, configured to boot silently, start QEMU, start FreeDOS
inside QEMU and display just that:

If you mean "FreeDOS should offer a VM-based solution so it can be run
on UEFI machines" then maybe yes, a Devuan+FreeDOS (or some
lighter-weight Linux, say Alpine or TCL or something, distro would be
interesting... but complicated to achieve.
