Will it run on my Pi?  That's my only Linux install at the moment (well, only one that actually works  I broke my desktop Ubuntu install by trying to convince it that graphics cards have multiple DVI ports.... >.< )

Unfortunately no - Pi's are ARM based, not i686, so the Renegade executables are simply in the wrong format to run ( as are all other applications not compiled for ARM ).
You won't have much luck playing the game in a VM either -- with 3D graphics passthrough on my decently modern box the framerate was awful, so it won't be amazing on a Pi.
Kudos for owning a Pi (what do you use it for?), but sorry none the less 
Regarding your broken Linux install: boot off a live CD and then deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf should fix that ( assuming that's what you edited ). Most likely only Xorg is broken ( xorg being the 'server' for the graphical environment ).

The whole thing about running it off a Pi was a bit of a joke tbh, your topic reminded me of the whole "Will it run Minecraft" thing (which, incidentally, it can... a cut down version of it anyway). As a software developer myself I know that x86 machine code won't run on ARM and, even if it did, the Pi has nowhere near enough grunt to actually run the W3D engine...
I use my Pi as a server for all sorts of random things, currently off the top of my head it's running SVN, HTTP, SFTP, MySQL, a few Perl scripts and it also has a bunch of cron jobs to download backup copies of websites I maintain, tar.gz them and dump them on my NAS. Considering I know next to nothing about Linux I'm quite pleased I managed to set all of that up using only the command line via SSH.
My Ubuntu install is a few versions out of date now anyway, I only used it for dabbling with Linux and I have my Pi for that now so odds are I will just erase it and setup a new VM with Mint or something.
