I think the first thing that needs to be done is to make sure that gmond is running completely on APR. There are still several places where *nix APIs are being used rather than the cross platform APR equivalents. This would also include the libganglia source code as well. Once that is done then compiling the code under VC++ or gcc on Windows will probably be much easier. You also might want to take a look at how the Apache httpd server is built for Windows. Building gmond for Windows would probably be something similar to that only not quite so complicated. The other issue you will run into is building libconfuse for Windows without cygwin. I'm not sure if that will be difficult or not. Libexpat and APR are already on Windows so there should be no problem there. Of course, Carlo has the most experience in this area and could probably give you a much better idea of how to proceed.
