probably not, since the versions available from scummvm.org lack the original DOS executables (which are, as far as I know, legal to distribute too though)

the reason for that is scummvm is a more specific utility, and has a selection of engines, iirc dosbox doesn't, its a proper dos emulator
and is a very complex tool

personally i couldn't get it to run properly, but i thought i should post it, cause it fitted your query

As clem said, you would need the original DOS executables to run BASS or FOTAQ, but any of the DOS versions of the games supported by ScummVM can be easily be run in DOSBox.
