I haven't tried this but it should be generally possible.

Absolutely.  You should be sure that like-named utilities and services in 
the two systems don't get used interchangeably.  In other words, to use
Cygwin utilities (like ls, less, gcc, etc), make sure that the MS tools 
are nowhere in the user's path.  The reverse should be true when using the
MS tools.  Also, if there are conflicting services in use for both packages,
its best to make sure the services that go with the tools in use are active 
and the others are not.
