    Here is a MSDOS port of 3.6

    Nice. Could a port of Slashem (a recent-ish forked one) be compiled
    for DOS/FreeDOS?

    Slashem, not SLEX, as it's too huge. Slashem has the perfect balance of classes/roles/features and so on.

    I've played quite some variants recently;
    and what you say resembles my experience -
    or let's call it "my impression".

    There's a couple interesting things spread
    across variants, though, concerning levels
    and user interface that would be worthwhile
    to have.

    There's also the "official" download of 3.6.7: https://www.nethack.org/v367/ports/download-msdos.html
