There are no plans to remove support for DOS from Eternity. All the Allegro code is already in existence and has been made to compile in an otherwise SDL-using port without any major problems, so I see no reason to undo what's there.
That being said, however, the DOS port is unlikely to receive treatment equal to that given the SDL version. For example, getting your hopes up about seeing any new high res. modes in DOS would be a bad idea, since maintaining the code to set high res modes under DOS adds a significant extra cost that I'm not really keen on undertaking.
So in short, the DOS port will remain equal to the SDL port in terms of stuff like editing features and bug fixes, but not necessarily in terms of end-user features like resolutions.
