No.  It requires an OS that implements either the UN*X or the Win32 API, 
and MS-DOS is neither of those.  To capture traffic, it requires an OS 
that supports libpcap, and libpcap supports only some UN*Xes (most of 
the interesting ones) and 32-bit Windows (I don't know if it works on 
64-bit Windows or not).
