Yes. The stub code generated from CamlIDL input files is independent
of COM and work under Unix just as well as under Windows.
(The only caveat is IDL "interface" declarations: they are mapped
to pseudo-objects that can be used portably from C, but can only be
used from C++ if the layout of these pseudo-objects happen to match
those of C++ objects; CamlIDL ensures this for Windows and for gcc 2
under Unix, but I haven't tested with gcc 3. But if you don't use
interface declarations, or don't use C++, there should be no problems.)
The only parts of CamlIDL that are really dependent upon the COM
runtime are the functions Com.create_instance and Com.register_factory.
These are available only under Windows.
