Both Windows and Linux can be installed on an Intel Mac, so yes. If you were referring to binary compatibility with Mac OS X, Windows programs can be run using third-party programs like Wine or CrossOver Mac. Programs compiled on Linux are not binary-compatible, but most programs that are open-source and not specific to functionality in Linux can be and have been ported to Mac OS X. Most of these are available via Fink.

Do Mac games run on Linux?

Yes. Many Linux distributions were created that target PowerPC Macs (Yellow Dog Linux especially; Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora also have ports). Any modern distro for PCs can also be used on an Intel Mac. Debian has / had a version for 68k Macs as well, but this is no longer well-maintained, and many programs lag behind the other ports in their versions. Software such as Virtual Box allow you to create a virtual Linux computer on your Mac. (See links below)
