I would think so.  I'm guessing that if you use ArchLinux that you could
even package the cross-compiled binaries.  I know that kicad has been
cross compiled in the past on linux but I haven't tested it.  Of course
you would have to cross compile all of the library dependencies which
could be more problematic as there are quite a few patches required to
build a mingw versions of Python and wxPython.  You can see all of the
patches in the package file repo on github.
