Here is a suggestion.  Bear in mind that I haven't set one such up
myself, but try this:

Use Source Safe Admininstrator (ssadmin.exe?) and setup
a 'mirror' folder.  What source safe will do is maintain a copy
of the latest checked in files in this mirror directory.  If you can
ensure that this mirror folder is in fact a samba mounted volume
of your Unix box, then, you can bypass having to get to VSS
in your builds.  You have all the latest files you need in this
folder already.  Bear in mind that this way, you cannot
get to a specific revision/tag/label whatever.  Also, you cannot
check files back in, create branches, create labels, etc.
What I have suggesed here les you do what you asked for:
get the files from Source Safe and perform the build on unix.

You may also want to checkout http://www.sourcegear.com/sos/
although I haven't used it myself.
