Yes, for real. Using DOSBox it is entirely possible to link up four players anywhere in the world and play multiplayer jagged alliance. I've been playing three-player with a local friend and a friend down south in florida, and while the game runs a little choppier than singleplayer, the netplay seems more stable than it was on win98 machines that were physically networked to one another.
I was going to write up a little tutorial, but someone beat me to it, for the windows version at least.

The most important bit - or at least the bit I was missing when originally cocking about with the idea are the commands to start the IPX tunneling service. You choose one computer to be the server, and on that machine you issue the command
On all the other machines you then do the clients should each get a message about IPX tunneling connecting successfully, and then the copies of Deadly Games will act as if they are on a local IPX network together.
The turn-based nature of the game naturally removes the importance of ping to success, so you should be able to have fair and challenging games, even with people in other countries.
Some discussion about this is taking place here.
