No, this is not possible (unless you license the DCOM code from Microsoft,
and implement the DCOM protocols on Linux...)

Maybe if you had lots of time on your hands and were handy with the WINE
code you could use parts of WINE to do DCOM. That's the only way I can
imagine making it work. It would be difficult, time consuming, and
distinctly unpleasant.
People have used WINE to support things like win32 photoshop plugins in
Linux, but I suspect DCOM support would be vastly more difficult.
Maybe it's time to move to a standards-based RPC protocol like XML-RPC,
CORBA, or SOAP. Failing that, you might need a Windows-hosted translator
layer.

It looks like I spoke too soon. A quick Google search revealed:
http://www.opengroup.org/comsource/
and (Java):
http://j-interop.sourceforge.net/
Are they any good? No idea.
