Well, Dell is very mighty and they don't always agree with Microsofts opinions, so I would say it depends on the situation. And for OS/2, this would be a big help for the OS/2 subsystem, but I think they can't do it, as OS/2 includes some MS-code, and I don't know who owns which rights. But who knows, hope dies last...

Dell I can't see as being agreeable loading a direct Windows Replacement, when most of their computers are shipped with Windows. They'd see a sizeable portion of their income dropped, if Microsoft decided to pull out of it.
IBM is currently being lobbied to make OS/2 Open-Source.. maybe WINE and ReactOS should chip in to that petition?

I think we might have good chances that IBM will help us, especially with the OS/2 subsystem. And if they still had their PC-branch, I would guarantee they would help us, just to show MS that nobody depends on them, but unfortunately they don't have it anymore... Anyway, I think IBM, Intel and maybe companys like Dell should be worth a try.
