After a meeting today there will be many experts able to answer this question better than me. But I'll share what little I know. The Windows version (Delphi) and the Linux version (Kylix) use different libraries. Windows uses VCL (Visual Component Libraries), Linux uses CLX, Windows uses *.dll runtime libraries, Linux uses *.so runtime libraries. These libraries are simply the precoded tools that allow your program to access the operating system's programming interface. So, of course they are different for different operating systems. Delphi 6 advertises itself as Kylix compatible. I haven't seen it so I don't know what that means. But with the modern IDE being so full of wizards, it would seem quite possible to automatically convert source code to one or the other or both operating systems. A Borland representative will be at the Thunderbird Hotel in Bloomington today and is surely whom you need to ask.
