Depends what your product is, I think. If you are using SDL, then it won't be too difficult to support Linux. But some things will work fine using some sort of VM code anyways, such as emulation of old game systems, or text-adventure VMs such as Z-machine and Glulx, or HTML. For some products, just ensure it is fully documented; if it isn't available on Linux, some users may then reimplement it on Linux, supporting the same protocol.
