I swtumbled upon this site using good old Google. Apparently, some guy figured out how to get his iPod to sync with this Linux machine (sans iTunes). That guy's site is apparently down thanks to Apple, but someone in the comments linked to a site from where his source can be downloaded.

Might just be worth a look:

yep, some people got the new batch to synch with non apple programs a week or so ago.
