There is a port for directX in the bindings project on dSource
http://dsource.org/projects/bindings/browser/trunk/win32/directx

Not complete but a good start..
Would be nice to get a complete port of DX though...

Also a post about getting it to compile...

Other possibility is to write a C dll file in Visual Studio then link to 
it....
