Yes, and most other Intel x86-based OS's. The X server contains support
for on-demand, OS- and even binary-format independent module loading.
See:

The GATOS binary drivers (originally compiled for Linux) have been
working for me on my ATI-based laptop for a long time (multiple
versions, natch), never a problem. I'm told they compile fine, but I've
never bothered.
