Yes! You'll need Linux's ld.so. Create a dir /emul/linux and 
use that as a root for linux stuff. Then put Linux's ld.so to 
/emul/linux/lib/ld.so . As far as I know the emulation code
looks up filenames by first using /emul/linux as root, then the real root.

Anyway, if you need linux doom, someone once put together a full
package of all the things needed to run it. I don't know where 
can you find it in the us, but if everything else fails, you
might want to ftp it from here, ftp.fsz.bme.hu /pub/NetBSD/other/linuxdoom.tar.gz

Hope this helps,
