Yep, quoth the website's FAQ

Will there be a port to the Mac / Linux?
Not unless someone volunteers to do it :) It would be an understatement to say
it would be a non-trivial task.
Wine might offer a way to port the Gecko / control to Linux / x86 Unix systems
using the Win32 API but linking to WINELib. Note that the control uses ATL
which might have certain licencing issues surrounding it. The alternative is to
write an open source ATL look-a-like, with the subset of functionality that the
control requires. The first task though is getting a clean build for the rest
of Gecko against WINELib.

Though it claims to work with Wine.
