No. Work had been started on porting for such a FOSS version but the lack of experienced C++/GUI programmers pretty much stalled progress (only one person has been able to contribute the lion's share of the effort). The amount of work to port the C++ Windows GUI code from MFC and XtremeToolKit has been daunting. The current version will run under Wine. Also, VirtualBox works very well for running CyberBoard. I've also run it under VMWare server on Linux but I've been gravitating to VirtualBox of late. I'm exploring other ways to open source CyberBoard with the XtremeToolKit dependency removed and relying on a newer version of MFC to move the program into the future. At least those tools are widely available to Windows programmers. A side benefit of that approach is that I have real-time play partially implemented using the excellent RakNet multi-player toolkit.
