That said I doubt a website like gog who provides games will ever do data only.

The way I'd see it, again: tgz, nixstaller, mojo, etc.
So customers can just buy the data files, slap their favourite port onto it, and be done with it. Additionnal value: give links to ports. But that could be overkill already.

My suggestion, try talking to 3D Realms - it would be nice to sell the data to Wolf3D, ROTT, DN3D, or SW (although SW needs better source ports).
id would be really nice (everything from Commander Keen to even Doom3: BFG) but they are not even on gog, so I doubt the climate there would be that receptive. :(
I think just having the needed data in a tarball or a zip file would be fine (keep in mind, this does not just apply to Linux gamers, but retro gamers on all platforms).
