For some reason people in my office have kept the old boxes of ancient
software.  I happened to find a copy of Source Safe v 2.2 from One Tree
Software (before Microsoft bought it).  One of the features is support for
Mac and Unix.

There were a few projects when I looked 2+ years ago to transform SS
databases into CVS.  They were barely started though and were hampered by
NDAs.

I'd guess that your best bet is to use cvs on your linux machine and
sneakernet it over to SS when you need to.
