Yes, you do have ethertalk for an Apple IIgs.
Grab a LocalTalk to EtherTalk adapter. Plug it into the printer port of your IIgs. I'm not sure that it will work with the latest version of Mac OS X, but I have definitely used it to connect to iMacs (ethernet only) and Linux (appletalk will not go over a rs-232 port, at least for macs).

Interesting. The whole netatalk (on linux) thing is what got me thinking about this. I dont suppose you tried booting your IIgs from the Linux box with your ethertalk/localtalk adaptor did you? I notice that netatalk seems to support apple II boot.

I suppose this approach (the adaptor) would work with an Apple II series workstation card as well? I think I'll go google localtalk to ethertalk adaptors :)

Cheers,
