Actually this may already be possible - there are several Mac users that run MoI in a VM on Mac OSX using Parallels or VMWare.

I think that VMWare is also available for Linux so you can try that.

Actually, you can already do that as well at least for basic stuff by using WINE.

You do have to set up IE6 or IE7 under wine though, look for something like "wine tricks" to find out how to get IE installed and then you can actually launch MoI running the code directly in WINE. Not everything works, like a couple of little menus don't show up but for the most part it appears to be ok:
