RaiMan proposed the following answer:
With the current version: no

Other than with Mac and Windows, the developers have decided, to not
deliver a bundle, that contains all needed stuff.

So currently it is your personal job, to install the needed native stuff
yourself. The problem is, that Sikuli currently only works with a
specific version of OpenCV and Tesseract out of the box.

With the newer versions of e.g. Ubuntu you have preinstalled (or downloaded) OpenCV 2.4, Tesseract 3 (and even in some cases OpenJDK 7 or Java 7 instead of Oracle Java 6), with the effect, that you have to fiddle around with this stuff, to get Sikuli working.
Yes, it is a mess.

The current version of Sikuli X-1.0 rc3 (r930) needs openCV 2.1, Tesseract 2.04 and Oracle Java 6.
If you get these prereqs ready on your system, Sikuli should work, without the need to build it from source.

I am currently busy with a new version of Sikuli that I develop on Mac.
The next step is to get it running on Windows. Then I will have a look
on Ubuntu.

I will try to make the situation easier for Linux users too.
