[...] funny setup. This is easier done by installing the RPM or from
source. The precompiled tgz is designed to run somewhere under one's
$HOME directory without any root rights needed.

yes and no. Not easily with the binary tarball, unless you run 1.0.2
dosemu.bin directly which requires you to put files in many different
locations.
It's easier then to run the 1.0.2.1 binary lets you run dosemu as root as
you tried with 1.0.2.
In dosemu 1.1.99.2 the readlink problem is fixed, but you'd have to
compile it from source, because of the glibc 2.2 issue; the source should
"only" require glibc 2.1.3.
For parallel ports this HOWTO section can help:
http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/docs/HOWTO/x249.html#AEN283
but there is still a stupid mistake in the syntax there:
the correct syntax is (if /dev/lp0 is connected with 3bc--3bf)
$_ports = "device /dev/lp0 fast range 0x3bc 0x3bf"
