It might work but I would not rely on unsupported procedures. It may be 
possible to do Solaris-2-linux cross recoveries. It is reasonable to think 
that it could be possible albeit not supported.  But not being supported you 
are at your own risk.   As I don't know anything about the internals of 
NetWorker I would not venture to lose my data. 

This is actually an old question and it would make an interesting RFE (which 
may have been filed already).
