You could trivially control it as a U-axis. However I don't think that
LinuxCNC will allow radius cutting in the ZU plane, which might be
limiting.
Switching U between radius and diameter modes is also (as far as I
know) not supported. Time for the addition of G7.1 / G8.1 maybe?

Interestingly, I might soon be wanting both these options on my
milling machine.

You might be able to get the result you want with gang tooling. (tools
bottom left and top-right of the saddle)
