DOSBox can be configured to include a debugger. The feature is not enabled in the official binary but the enhanced derivative projects probably have it (DOSBox-X definitely does):

DOSBox-x on FreeBSD at least has is disabled by default, but it can be enabled when building from ports (make config).

Hey because I don't feel like making a phone call to my BSD expert, is that a flag? Like in Gentoo it would be like
USE="debugger" emerge -vaD bochs #portage reads env and will set flags this way or in /etc/portage/packages.use/bochs (folder name packages.use is arbitrary and I'm old school.)
Curious if BSD is like that too and I am way to tired to attempt to search for it with correct words...
You don't do that systemwide in FBSD, instead during the build from source for that single port. Optionally even interactively by curses interface.
