I do not see why not.

Although, it is better IMHO to have separate machines for mingw and
msvc since they can go haywrite together in my experience. Perhaps
even a separate machine for the pacman and archlinux Windows port if
someone wants to experiment with that.

PS.: For me, the KDE remote desktop stuff has not worked all the time,
but rdesktop works nice (probably other clients, too). Perhaps, it
would give the opportunity of fixing issues for the KDE desktop
utility. :)
