Novell is running an online survey, asking Linux users which Windows apps they'd most like to see ported to Linux. According to CNET, the top 5 are:
1. Photoshop
2. Dreamweaver
3. Macromedia Studio
4. AutoCAD
5. iTunes
You aren't told the current results, because the survey doesn't tell you. To learn the survey results, you need to subscribe to a Novell e-newsletter, which is annoying.
The question I have is how many of those folks who want AutoCAD on Linux would be willing to pay for AutoCAD on Linux?

Linux, for the most part has been free. Till RedHat and a few other developers started marketing the OS as an option to Windows.
Based on the fact of Linux low cost or free use, your question, Evan should have been, "How many of those foldk would pay for any mature software on Linux?"
