Depending upon your definition of "current", the Linux development kernels
from 2.1.80 (I think) upwards all support AppleTalk over IP (also known as
ipddp). I have had it running on a machine here using kernel version 2.1.85.
It also supports IP over AppleTalk (in case your Linux box is connected
to an AppleTalk only network, with an IP gateway somewhere on that network).
Of course, it doesn't support IP over AppleTalk at the same time as AppleTalk
over IP!
