I'm a big djv fan. At least in theory, that's exactly what you're looking for. I've used it for 1k dpx files, but haven't had a chance to throw it on our 2k raid yet. I've also mostly been using it on Windows, but in theory, you should get much better results on Linux, since Windows is really bad at dealing with directories with lots of files.

I know, you´re asking for a software solution but did you have a look at the Intensity/Intensity Pro cards from Blackmagic Design (>Decklink)? http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
Come around $250-350, would likely at least play *.tga sequences in realtime (from PremierePro) to a HDMI/LCD.
Or are you looking for the most rudimentary kind of playback? How about Maya fcheck or XSI´s
flipbook? The XSI flipbook does read *.dpx and has a basic gamma control. You may allready be happy with unchecking "keep images in memory"?
But if you stumble across a functional alternative,
please report.
