You are most certainly welcome to do so - that's what open-source is all about. I can't help but wonder though - is there any practical need behind such work? I don't really see what this would improve. Sure, it would make FDNPKG potentially run on 80286 CPUs - but I am not convinced anyone would want to run a package manager on a 286. Disk space is usually scarce on these machines (if there is a hard disk in the first place), so I'd rather think people will turn to good old manual 'copying what I need' on such hardware. It's worth noting that 8086 and 80186 are out of scope anyway due to memory constraints, since FDNPKG definitely requires more than 640K of RAM to work.
