Given that you can get IE running under Wine it isn't that unreasonable
a possibility. It would undoubtedly take somewhat more work to get the
Firefox rendering to use the IE engine through Wine than if the
rendering was natively Linux based though. I'd put it down as an
interesting challenge - if I had the time and/or the right skill set :)
