[Elecraft] K3 FIRMWARE UPDATE - non wintel software?

No.  DigiKeyer implements the control port in software.  Don (MLDX) 
and Chen (cocaModem/uH Router) write to the hardware specification. 
There is no virtual serial port interface in any of the OSX or 
LINUX software. 

In spite promises from several LINUX developers (who have been provided 
both hardware and documentation) nobody has created a LINUX or OSX 
equivalent to Router's virtual serial port interface.  Rumor has it that 
Router will run under VMware or Parallels but I have not been able to 
confirm that.
