Well, learning to hack IP in Lisp - sounds like a challenge.

You could use something like NAT (network address translation)
on the Linux box. You should then be able to determine
for every IP port where it should be translated to.
So you would translate the combination port 80 and external
IP number (the one you get from your provider)
to port 80 and the internal IP number of your MacIvory.
You should look for a software solution for your Linux
box, I guess. It should be able to handle the dialup,
routing and the address translation.

There are also software solutions for the Macintosh which
would make that possible (dial up to the Internet
via a Mac and routing packets to the Mac's Ethernet).

One question remains, if you have an MacIvory, for
what do you need the Linux box? ;-)
