No, i'm sure about the meaning of DVOR.
DVOR means Doppler VOR. It has nothing to do with a dme; If it was a dme approach then a DME must be written in plain without abbreviations.

Take a look to this procedure that comes from the same AIP but for another aerodrome.

http://www.nav.pt/ais/cd/2013-07-26/..._20130307.pdf?

It's a VOR-DME and DVOR is still present.

Moreover, taking a look at the GEN section of the AIP of this country in the section " abbreviations used in AIS publications" we can also see there the meaning of DVOR. I'm pasting here a little paragraph.

DUR Duration
DVOR Doppler VOR
DVORTAC * DVOR and TACAN Combination

I know, it's a tricky subject when one definitions doesn't apply, i always wonder why; we can only learn and gain more knowledge
