Yep, I got it running with the Micom/Interlan TCP package about 6
months ago.  Unfortunately, I didn't keep track of the changes I
had to make, but most of them were stright-forward; mostly just
changing include file names.

There are two major gotchas to watch out for that I recall:
sendmail has a function with the same name as one of the streams
library routines that is called by the socket library - you need
to change sendmail's function name, and there is a problem with
using fdopen to associate two streams with the same file
descriptor - you need to dup the fd to avoid confusing stdio.

I also kludged up a quick replacement for the Berkeley syslog
stuff that just writes to a file - you could probably do the
same or I could send it to you.

If I can be of any assistance, just email.
