USE_LINUX does nor support it. I mean there is no possibility to
define a linux distro ATM. The only option is to use USE_LINUX=yes.
The only way is to check for OSVERSION and if
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS is defined. You may look at
emulators/linux-systemsimcell for an examples.

Yes, no one including me have written such support so far.
