Closest you'll get is, probably, BerkeleyDB from http://www.sleepycat.com/, but it doesn't come anywhere near the capabilities of IMS DEDB. And the API isn't CALL xxxTDLI USING GU| GHU| GN| GHN| GNP| GHNP| ISRT| DLET| REPL. I really think you should keep your IMS data in IMS (high availability, good RAS, excellent performance) and use OTMA or ODBA to access it from the remote system rather than trying to port your application and data to a Linux system. If you want to port to Linux you should re-engineer your application to use DB2 SQL.
