I once even made dosemu use the parport api. Suppused /dev/parport is
accessible by you as a user and the corresponding modules are loaded and the
config connects the right parport interface to the right address, you should
be able to run as user and access the port. However I have not run dosemu for
a long time, so I don't know about the present state. 
If you try to run the programm in wine/cxoffice and you find problems, first
run with WINEDEBUG=+int and ask me again with thw output of that programm.

Without the parport interface, you need to run as root for direct port
access.
