Yes. There seem to only be proprietary tools for compiling for the robot controller but it can still work. I've had some success with using WINE to run the mcc18 compiler and the mplink program to get the thing compiled. WINE is a compatibility layer program for various platforms that allows you to run programs written for Windows.
I can probably give you a makefile to use to compile stuff later. I modified some makefiles posted on Chiefdelphi (from the thread about cygwin RC development) a bit to use WINE and run on Linux, but that was for the 2004 code. Because there's a newer compiler Microchip is providing us with and the 2005 default code I will likely have to make a few changes.
