There really aren't any yet. There's ReactOS, but it's not nearly complete yet and I don't know if they have DX9 support planned or not. This is the next closest thing:

It's not open source and they claim they have the support of Microsoft, but that sounds a little flaky. It's basically just a hacked version of Windows 2000.

No and for a simple reason: Direct X 9 is proprietary. You have to have a windows license to use Direct X. There are emulators like Cedega(http://www.transgaming.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=2&meid=-1) which can play Direct X Games on GNU/Linux however if you are looking for free as in beer solutions you probably won't have much luck. If you can program and know a lot about Direct X you might want to consider helping the WINE project or donating money. The wine project can be found at http://www.winehq.org

Every flavour of Linux releases in 2007 can do this, but to reduce ur confusion u can opt for SuSe Linux 2007, Mandriva 2007, RedHat or Fedora's Latest version.
If this is not helping u. Download Cedega s/w and install it in ur X os. This s/w provides API's for games to run just like DirectX.
get it from here

This s/w can play every 9.x compatible game.
