I think you mean Hexen II DJGPP port that is still developed and improved. I don't know about any other port project of similar game.
I rather play Unreal with modernized renderer engine and hi-res texture pack (about 2GB? of new textures). Of course it's not all about nice rendering, Unreal is great with it's detailed models, large landscapes an buildings, mixing ancient and future architecture, great music that powers the atmosphere... Also it's quite complex and long to play compared to some nowdays games you can finish in 2 days. I played Unreal many times again and I'm still attracted to it, simply game of my heart :)
