ArcGIS Server Java Version for *NIX will get that going for you (no idea on what the license cost is, we're site-licensed). I haven't actually installed it (since it requires Oracle and RedHat or SUSE while I prefer Debian), but I have poked around in the DVD for the installer and it has sample scripts which do an "import arcgisscripting" along with some shared libraries for all of the esri bits. I haven't explored it much further than that, but probably will in a month or so.
