It's not a matter of porting per se. You can use x.org R7 with Cygwin right now, through Cygwin Ports. (But that's of course a separate project so use its mailing list for problems.) The issue is that Cygwin currently lacks an X11 maintainer to handle the packaging. If I recall correctly Yaakov offered to contribute his R7 packages to the Cygwin distro, but there was some other divergence between the two distros that caused it to be problematic. Or maybe it was that there was still some lingering problem with the R7 server that he couldn't get working. I don't recall, but you can find the details in the cygwin-apps mailing list archive.
