Both GURPS and Dwarf Fortress have a number of things in common; an emphasis on detail and appeal to simulationists, lethal combat, scenarios where seemingly mundane skills (e.g. Weaving) could conceivably make a big difference.

Is Dwarf Fortress an actual game product? If so do you have a link?

It sure is. You can download it for free from the developer's site or go here for an installation and gameplay tutorial.

Random thoughts:
- LTC3 looks like one of the essential GURPS Dwarf Fortress supplements.
- Something like Fantasy Tech #: Dwarven Halls (containing things from dwarffortress'y crunchy mining rules to tolkienesque Moria over-the-topness). That's the thing I'd definitely read.
- GURPS Minecraft. There is something in these two words...
