All of which are probably windows based stuff (except the power cable
of course) and of limited utility on a *nix-like system.

I don't see any reason why amanda could not run the device. And
having some experience running the older Seagate 4586n changers which
used DDS2 tapes, I'd recommend you look for another format as the DDS
tapes, while cheap, do not in practice come anywhere near their rated
100,000 passes, nor do the drives themselves.
As far as amanda, and building amanda, we generally recommend it be
built on-site rather than installed from a package so that all the
configuration details can be made to fit your environment. I have a
script I build each new snapshot with here that garantees functional
continuity because each new version is built with the same options as
the previous one. Its published on this list maybe once a month, so
it should be easy to find in the lists archives.
