I think Prefix builds on Portage or rather is an extension on it, but Michael Haubenwallner should be able to tell you more if you are interested. So if Prefix does work on Cygwin, Portage certainly should as well. Portage is the package manager of Gentoo and Gentoo builds everything you install from source, on the system you are currently on. AFAUI, Prefix additionally makes it possible to build into a foreign installation and/or hosted by something other than Gentoo. So runnning Prefix on Cygwin will enable you to use Portage packages on Cygwin, but they will be built locally like on Gentoo by default.
