Hopeless.  You'll at least need a /boot UFS partition.  Also you'll 
probably have to modify grub to read DragonFly disklabels (although I 
have a setup here booting with grub, so I don't know how I managed that 
:).  Oh yes, you'd need a disklabel32, not a disklabel64 to have the 
slightest chance of making grub work.

Or try a /boot in ext2, then also grub should be able to read it :D

Alternatively you could try using a chainloader in grub.
