I'm not sure if zoomed-in macroshots "count", as they naturally have a more shallow DOF. Can you achieve the same effect with portrait shots?

I'm pretty sure they definitely don't count, as DOF is a ratio of focusing distance IIRC. Also the DOF would be far more shallow with a DSLR and a fast lens in the same conditions (close focus).
