You would need to wait a bit longer for such a product :D. The short answer is no. If you want to read about why it is so, just google (sorry, msn search) for "sql server for linux", pick all the articles that are dated 01/04/2005, and negate the justification for such a product.
Note that SQL Server makes use of many features of the Windows platform, e.g. scatter/gather I/O, and even if you were be able to run SQL Server via Wine, performance would likely to suffer.

The answer is NO. I think it will never happen while MS also sells Windows.
My 2 cents on some of the reasons...
1) SQL Server is closely tied into the operating system functionality. It would take a lot of work by MS to get a performant version of SQL Server on any other OS. (Yes, DB2 and Oracle have bit this bullet, but MS has not...)
2) Would SQL Server on *nix be seen as a gateway to help migrate *nix sites to Windows, or a gateway to migrate Windows sites away to *nix? If SQL Server on *nix might harm overall revenues for MS, it will never happen.
