Well, I've tried it (briefly). convert.exe seems to work, as well as 
identify.exe.  However, I can't get display.exe to do anything other 
than print out its usage/help message -- I've tried it both with no 
DISPLAY variable and no Xserver running, and with an Xserver and with 
DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0.

I assume the former is "proper" as display.exe is not linked against any 
of the X libraries but is linked against GDI32.dll -- therefore I assume 
it uses native windowing.


Furthermore, there are some packaging issues in the main ImageMagick 
package:

....
/usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.3.0/www/subversion.html
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/ChangeLog
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/coder.xml
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/log.xml
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/magic.xml
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/sRGB.icm
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/thresholds.xml
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/LICENSE
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/NEWS

The three files ChangeLog, LICENSE, and NEWS in 
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/ should really be in 
/usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.3.0/.  The former directory should be 
reserved for platform-independent support files, not documentation. I 
realize the current placement is the fault of the upstream package, but 
still...

More importantly, however, there is no 
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ImageMagick*README file.
