Yes, the _hub/switch_ part of a linksys router will pass AppleTalk packets. Ethernet is ethernet, and anything that works via ethernet will most likely work with any hub off the shelf.
However, Linksys routers DO NOT pass AppleTalk packets via 802.11b. If you have AirPort (or any other 802.11b cards) and intend to use a linksys router for home networking and sharing files via AppleTalk, you will be sorely disappointed. The same is not true of the Orinoco base stations (note that the AirPort base station is basically re-branded Orinoco hardware). That being said, TCP/IP works fine, so if you have OS 9 or an earlier version of the OS with ShareWay IP (which is what Apple bought to put FileSharing over TCP/IP into OS 9), you can do all your AppleTalk stuff via TCP/IP with no problems (and a rather significant performance boost at that).
