I'm considering buying an LS4000 scanner and I'm loathe to create a new partition on my box just for Windows. But that seems to be the only way to run the scanner. That, or buy a mac. That's Linux's main failing right now -- software support from vendors. I seriously doubt that Nikon gave any thought to Linux/*BSD support because the user base is so small.
