My favorite bit about linux gaming is that damn nearly everything on GOG is 100% supported under wine - just download from the website, and launch with wine and you're in business.

Here is how this works:

A windows program looks for certain things in windows. It needs certain things to work, and wine attempts to supply these needs so that the program will run on linux. With skyrim, most mods are nothing more than extras the are only accessed by skyrim itself - so if skyrim is working, then your mods should work.

Worst case scenario: give it a shot. Install steam in wine, download skyrim, see what happens. If it runs and your satisfied with performance, plug in an addon, try to run it, repeat til you're satisfied and stuff works.
