Yes. Trojans are possible for every type of operating system that allows the end user to install programs. In practice, however, trojans are almost non-existent in Linux, because most distros provide a repository of safe and inspected binaries compiled from source by developers of the distro. If someone tried to sneak something in, it would be very easy to point the finger at who was responsible, since the developers of each program are known. Another benefit of the repository is that users will likely not install programs from another, potentially unsafe, location.
