Currently, no.
Windows picks it up, but has no drivers for it. So until someone hacks the drivers, you cant.

You might be able to run the output from your ps2 to your computer tv input card.
Or try this from Usenet, for n2000 or XP:
(The D-Link DSB-C310 (Rev B1) is one such beast.

I got the driver for the D-Link camera and edited the .inf files to
reference the USB id of my EyeToy camera (054c:0154), installed it and it
works fine.

You can get the drivers from http://support.dlink.com)
Grab drivers from D-Link link above.
Unzip to folder
Go to folder, locate OV519.inf,
Right click file,
Properties>Untick 'Read Only'

Open OV519.inf in Notepad
Edit>Replace

Replace
VID_05A9&PID_8519
with
VID_054C&PID_0154
Select 'Replace All'
Save.

Then, plug your Eye Toy into the USB port, wait for it to be recognised and
install the drivers' in the normal way using the Have Disk option at the
prompt (double check which drivers you're installing as my Win2k attempted
to install its own driver)

During the installation, you'll get a system box with ???? in it...this is
the 50Hz/60Hz option setting. I set it to 50Hz for now.
