Cool, I've just got this to work!
It doesn't seem to work fully though.
I've added this to my dosemu.conf:
$_ports=" device /dev/snd/seq range 0x388 0x38b"
I'm using a YMFPCI chip which seems to contains an OPL3.
Wacky Wheels seems to be able to play 'some' stuff, but only if I run it 
after letting pmidi play a midi file. Wolfenstein 3-D doesn't seem to 
work though and after running Wolfenstein, I need to run pmidi first to 
be able to get Wacky Wheels to do something again.
In Wacky Wheels, I only seem to hear the some instruments (sound like 
the same ones pmidi used to play the file).
There is also an error printed about the adlib emulation conflicting 
with the ports setting, (but it seems that I can ignore that).
Any idea why it is only 'half' working?

Thanks,
Julius
