As far as I know, there is no way, but building your own gdal with mrsid  
support und Linux. The instructions can be found somewhere in the  
qgis-maze, but I don't how up-to-date they are.
I tried once, but as the instructions were not really idiot-proof and I  
prefer to use repositories, and as there was no clear instruction to be  
found how to deal with incompatibilities, I gave up so far.

I think the masterbrains just compile everything, and the stupid masses  
use a virtual Windows machine to transform to geoTIFF (like me).

There was an article mentioned in the list how to produce quite small  
geoTIFF some weeks ago:

That's all I can tell
