Based on what an ODBC driver actually does, and assuming a technically sound model, I see no reason that you shouldn't be able to use an existing Win32 ODBC driver under Wine to talk to a SQL server.
In practice, the issue may be far more hairy than that. :)
If the Win32 ODBC doesn't work for you, maybe the next thing to look at would be compiling FreeTDS's ODBC driver using libwine...
