chances are good that it will. i have both the windows and the linux version and i only ever used the account created with the windows version to playing in linux.
the cd key is just a one time thing to create an account anyway, after that, you just log into the account.
i dont even think the account or authentication server know whether you're using windows or linux. i vaguely remember loki having a user poll asking them to implement some code to figure out whether someone is using the linux version or not, and if i remember correctly, people objected for whatever reason, so they didn't really know how big their userbase was, or, for instance, whether someone just downloaded the linux version somewhere and used their windows account (copies sold vs. copies used to play online).
