A. No.
B. Maybe with a Windows emulator, but it is extremely unlikely.
C. WHY??????

If you're gonna use Linux, use something like PostGreSQL or MySQL or anything other than SQL Server. Even if you get it working somehow the performance will suck. SQL Server was designed to ONLY work on a Windows platform and has too many deep hooks into the OS to run effectively on an emulated system.
