MusE have added Native VST support.
Linux
Requirements:
JACK is
a low-latency audio server, written for POSIX conformant operating
systems such as GNU/Linux and Apple's OS X. It can connect a number of
different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to
share audio between themselves. Its clients can run in their own
processes (ie. as normal applications), or can they can run within the
JACK server (ie. as a "plugin").
Wine is
free software.
The licensing terms are the
GNU
Lesser General Public License.

Wine is
an Open Source implementation of the
Windows
API on top of
X and Unix.

It's a

Ardour: Multichannel digital audio
workstation for Linux.
Somebody
said you could use Windows VST plugins in Ardour...
On Linux ONLY: ... It is also possible to use Windows
VST plugins, though not all will function correctly and
can make Ardour unstable (you would be using software
created for a different operating system - it cannot be
expected to be perfectly reliable). The Linux Audio
Consortium maintains a page documenting various kinds of
VST compatibility for Linux. VST support generally
requires build Ardour yourself from the source code.

fst and dssi-vst,
allowing you to run Windows VST plugins on Linux.
