Well, I do that routinely (specifically, I write windows applications
by cross compiling from a linux machine, and test them on the
development machine using the wine compatibility layer).

I would assume that sooner or later we are going to start to see
compatibility layers to allow applications developed for one framework
to run on another, though it may not become fully practical until
phones have a bit more horsepower, and it will probably first become
practical as a cross platform toolkit where you write for the
compatibility layer rather than any native framework.
