Will Linux GRAMPS import .fbc and .ftmb files?
If not, is there a stand alone Linux utility that will convert .fbc and .ftmb to gedcom?

As far as I understand, anything that works on one OS in GRAMPs works on all OSes. None of the usage documentation differentiates based on which OS it's running on (at least that I've seen; I'm a Mac GRAMPS user).
According to the GRAMPS 5.0 FAQ entitled "What Standards Does GRAMPS Support?", GRAMPS should be able to read Family Tree Maker files (personally, I'd probably try the .ftc file first).
If it doesn't work or doesn't work properly, I'd recommend contacting MacKiev (the company that currently owns/produces Family Tree Maker) to inquire about converting to GEDCOM format without the full application, or requesting help on a GRAMPS mailing list.
I attempted to import a *.ftmb
file into Gramps 4.2.8 for Linux and it didn't recognise the format.
Consequently, it appears that Linux Gramps is unable to import *.ftmb
files?
