I seriously doubt that there will be a product anytime soon (maybe
never) that provides both a faithful enough PC emulation to support 
the DOS extender used by DOOM, while also providing adequate 
performance. Technically, this is nearly impossible to do without
putting an actual 486 and VGA adapter inside your UNIX workstation...
