The Zune doesn't actually use MTP, it uses a proprietary protocol called MTPZ. As such, it's very unlikely that this will ever work in a non-MS OS.
Although it uses MTPZ, there is hardly anything proprietary about it. MTPZ is just MTP plus the requirement of authentication before any MTP commands can work.

The Rockbox team is out of luck. The Zune's firmware can not be changed with the exception of possibly hardware modification.
