Well, kind of.  The code isn't up to the standards of the rest of GDB
--- for example, it contains HPPA-specific code --- and we don't have
a lot of resources allocated to clean it up.

If you could come up with a patch that:
- makes the TUI work on Linux, 
- insulates the rest of GDB from curses's namespace problems, and
- doesn't perturb the rest of GDB much,
then I'd apply it.
