There is devbios.
However, it is silly to limit yourself in such a way.
I have a FreeDOS bootable disk image I keep on my hard drive. Whenever I need to load (w/ loadbios) or flash (w/ amiflash) a new bios, I just write that image, and my new ROM, to the diskette. Sure all of my development is done under Linux, but you shouldn't close yourself to other alternatives.
If you get heavily into coding OpenBIOS, you will probably prefer MS-DOS (or FreeDOS), because it is much closer to the BIOS on which you are hacking.
