Someone probably could, but a different question is whether someone has.

(Also, while I know nothing about the X11 architecture, it's possible
that even with an optimized driver it might not be able to take full
advantage of a very unique display hardware, which the one in the Amiga
might be, because X11 is too generic of an architecture.)
