No. That can't be done. ( I don't think Microsoft would ever let that happen )

You still can access MS SQL server from Linux with the help of VMWare or Virtual Box.

Run the SQL Server on virtual Machine and use SQL Server ODBC Driver From Easy Soft[^]

As an alternative you can make use of the DBD::Sybase module in Perl.

Or you can make use of the unixODBC and FreeTDS.
