Short answer: Yes, it's called Wine and winelib.
Long answer: No, like oiaohm said, any dll doesn't exist in a vacuum of space. It requires at least some things (like memory management, object manager - handle resolution, synchronization)  that tie to most of Wine.

If you have the source of that dll, and sure it absolutely calls no other functions, then you can rip a loader pieces out of Wine to load your dll. Something like mplayer doing with codecs. But it's not a trivial wrapper.
