I tried it last week: OpenCL support for AMD was just an apt-get away in Debian testing, working with the open source drivers.

Note I used Intel as example, not only because that is what I had at the time, but also because it is a notable third party OpenCL vendor. If you associate OpenCL with AMD then you might as well use CUDA on NVIDIA.
I wasn't trying to imply that! Just wanted to state that things have changed and support is pretty good nowadays (for Intel GPUs, too, BTW, I just have never personally tried those).
