I am on Mac OS X which has no "native" DVI viewer. Xdvi runs, of  
course, as an X11 client. The "Aqua clients" TeXniscope or TeXShop  
(the best PDF viewer you can find) convert DVI to PDF via dvipdfmx or  
dvipdfm (teTeX supports MAP files automatically). TeXShop "sees" that  
the source (at least PDF) has changed and automatically updates. I've  
set TeXShop as viewer application for a few TeX document formats in  
texdoc. So it's texdoc that is used from AUCTeX to display everything  
for which GNU Emacs does not suffice.

There is another problem with dvipdfm (besides it lacks support in  
AUCTeX): it's dead (but not complete; or do you see for example  
support for TTF or OTF fonts?). Development happens in dvipdfmx (and  
xdvipdfmx for XeTeX output), which also supports CJK text (maybe more).
