I'd be inclined to say no: the Quake 3 engine has a "list of known
systems" approach to porting, so if Debian is ported to yet another
kernel (GNU/kNetBSD? GNU/kSolaris?) it's very likely to not compile
there without a patch similar to the one Svante did for Hurd.

(It also does things like networking and plugin-loading at a
sufficiently low level that if it compiles on a particular kernel/libc
combination, it's not necessarily true that it *works* there, so it's
valuable to confirm that it does really work before allowing it to be
autobuilt.)
