the midid -- maybe this simply isn't included in any suse 9.1 personal package (??).

Very probably, but I think it's better to
ask that in the SuSE mailing lists - they
may know better.
Alternatively use the ALSA way, it doesn't
require midid.

'DosBox' for example, has adlib FM-synthesis support!!, but dosemu
doesn't seemingly ;-(. Are there any projects or mechanisms for adding support for this ?
Any pointers or useful-information would be appreciated ;-).

There is the unmaintained patch, reportedly
used to work for some people:
http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/stas/opl1c.diff

I must find the relevant mailing list then ;-).

Errr, I've never heard anythign about this 'alsa way'.

Pleas, please, point me in the right direction for finding out about
this 'alsa way' of implementing the MIDI in dosemu. Also, how does that work in relation to playing through 'arts' or 'esd' (e.g. through the 'artsdsp' shell whatnot) ?

That should work but not if you also use the digital sound in dosemu, which goes to /dev/dsp. You'll have to use aoss with dosemu then, for which you'll have to set $_oss_stalled_frags=(2) in your dosemu.conf.
