As far as I know, part of the modem functionality is provided by
Desktop Manager (a Windows-only desktop application), so unless somebody
manages to port it to Linux we won't be able to use a Blackberry as a
tethered modem.
Maybe you heard about Barry, a project that provides support for
Blackberry in Linux, but it's initial goal was to provide
backup/restore/syncing functionality. I don't know about the status of
the modem support:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/barry
XmBlackberry seems to be focused on the modem support and maybe it's
what you are looking for:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmblackberry
There are people reporting success using *both* projects simultaneously:

Depends on how you tether. MacOSX works fine with Bluetooth tethering
to my Pearl with no special software. Thus, whatever they've done
should be able to be done on Linux.
Tethering via USB is more problematic, at least that's my understanding
of it anyway. For Blackberry products.
