There Is No Doubt, Steam Is Coming To Linux
If you go to this file there are references to all the components you need for the Steam Linux client (as also pointed out in this forum post). They can then be extracted and assembled by-hand by following the same layout as the Mac OS X Steam client. You can then proceed to launch the Linux-native Steam client, but it will have problems connecting to the authentication/update server (but that can be worked around). However, good luck signing into your account as it's setup similarly to the closed Mac beta program where only those accounts of the authorized gamers can partake in the testing process on that platform.
All the Linux client files (read: these are NOT just the server files) are there from the binary to the Linux shared libraries for your exploration. These are the real files for the Steam client Linux release.
