Yup. When I wiped out my Gentoo install and reinstalled (to switch from 32-bit to 64-bit), all I needed to do to reinstall Dominions was to pick a spot, copy files there, symlink the 64-bit executable into a directory in my path, and overwrite files with the latest patch.

You do want to make sure that your X.org driver supports any hardware acceleration possible. If you're using an ATI card, for instance, you probably want to be using either the proprietary ATI drivers or the X.org radeon or radeonhd drivers, with your kernel properly configured (DRI enabled, GART if you're using AGP, etc). Otherwise, it'll be pretty slow. Check with glxinfo -- if you see 'Software Rasterizer' as the 'OpenGL renderer' you're not using your card's hardware acceleration.
