Freeciv savegames are all text-based so there should be no bigendian 
bias.  I dunno about civ2 savegames.
Civ2 looks like it uses a "natural" coordinate system.  To convert from 
natural to native coordinates you just divide the X value by 2 and round 
down (note this may break if you have a negative X value).  This is what 
map_to_native_pos does (though it's optimized).
Seems like you probably want to use civ2 for the rulesetdir?  And set 
other civ2 options from civ2.serv?
