You might want to give Mangler a try ( http://www.mangler.org/ ). It is 
linux native and is supposed to connect to vent servers.

A good place to start would be the wine application database ( 
http://appdb.winehq.org/ ). There you can do a search for Steam and find 
the page dealing with getting Steam itself running in wine. After that 
you can do searches for the games you want and see what needs to be done 
for them. You can also search there for Vent if you want to get the 
windows version running through wine.
