You mean, beyond the FL and max aperture? Could another 12/2 design give more or less DoF (on the same camera of course) than the current one?

No. Klaus means it in comparison to FF / APS-C, that the field of view you get being similar, the lenses can be smaller by sacrificing shallow DOF possibility (smaller apertures).
Any 12mm f2 lens, no matter what design, no matter what lens mount, will give the same field of view and DOF as that Olympus. The sensor size if the deciding factor here.
