What version? There is DX9 support on Linux and IIRC a partial DX10/11 implementation bit-rotting somewhere.

DX9 support is still experimental and requires an unstable Wine fork to make it run.

I have to say I managed to have it working and I got a 50% increase in FPS in Steam/Source games running under Wine.

There's the "old" DirectX -> OpenGL translation layer in Wine but it is not really efficient or performant, although it may be enough for GUI applications.

Sadly Gallium3D isn't "Linux" yet. It's only really usable on AMD open source drivers that is very small portion of market and I would say it's 15% at best, but in reality likely 5-10%.
