This is going to be difficult.  The dsPICs have a different pinout in the
same packages as the 16 and 18 families.  For example, you couldn't plug a
30F3013 into a socket intended for a 16F876 or 18F2520.

The best answer is to make a PC board that is a converter.  Worst case is
probably a flying adapter with the bottom of a 28 pin socket connected with
wires to the top of a 40 pin machined socket.  You might eventually get
everything right and have it work once or twice until a wire falls off.
Making a converter on perf board is somewhere between these two extremes.
