And the replies in the forum sound reasonably promising. I'm glad to see this comment from one of the developers:
I would hate to say we support Linux through WINE though.
If we end up officially supporting it, we will make sure to provide a binary proper.

Would it be in anyway possible to obtain the rights to sell the games ported by Loki (& possibly update the src of those to work better in the contemporary distros)? It's sad that while many of the windows versions are available through GOG, linux ports just seem to sit in safes somewhere...

Unfortunately, there was (and apparently still is) a load of confusion as to who actually owned what and where the source landed during the Chapter 7 end of Loki. For example, while Timegate Studios got the source code for Kohan back, they were under the impression that nobody could really use that codebase- not even them. The story varies from publisher to publisher, but it seems it was all the same then. You'd have to ask Activision, Square Enix, and a few others about stuff they've probably forgotten about and lost in the mists of time.
I do know one of the titles may be making a comeback...but not with Loki's codebase.

Adding another to the pile, I haven't previously seen mention of Gratuitous Space Battles.
Cliffski echoes a sentiment we're familiar with and getting tired of:

It doesn't have to work that way.
