Yes, and most other Intel x86-based OS's. The X server contains support 
for on-demand, OS- and even binary-format independent module loading.

See:

The GATOS binary drivers (originally compiled for Linux) have been 
working for me on my ATI-based laptop for a long time (multiple 
versions, natch), never a problem. I'm told they compile fine, but I've 
never bothered.

Cheers,
