Yes if you spend a lot of money.
You can buy a set of libraries from a comany called Bristol
Technology (I think, it's over 8 years since I used it!) that allows
you to build Windows software on a Unix box. A bit like cygwin
in reverse! Some Microsoft developers actually used it during the
development of the first version of Windows NT I believe!

However a more practical route is probably to just install
VMWare (or similar virtualisation software) and a cheap copy
of Windows XP Pro/Home.
