Linux doesn't feature target mode SCSI, but at some time, there were
at least some patches available for at least some controllers. Some
folks tried to do IP-over-SCSI.

I'm not sure, but I seem to recall that at least one of today's BSDs
ships along with target mode. IIRC it's even used in some embedded
storage systems.
