As per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Direct3D_and_OpenGL

"Several partially functional ports of the Direct3D API have been made
by Wine, a project to port common Windows APIs to Linux, but this work
is difficult due to the dependency of DirectX as a whole on many other
components of Windows."

IOW, Wine is your best (software libre) option at the moment.

Do a search on http://appdb.winehq.org/ to see to what extent people
have gotten that game you want to run working.  You might also want to
consider virtualizing a version of Windows just for gameplay if it turns
out that it doesn't run great yet...
