It's certainly possible, whether it's easy is another question. An absolute must-have is MinGW, which has most of the really useful linux things for windows. You need it, or Cygwin, although I hear that MinGW was better. It'll come included with a compiler, make, cmake and git, among other things. As an IDE, I personally use Code::Blocks and recommend it for C++. On the other hand, I haven't worked on something this size seriously yet, but it's still a widely respected C/C++ IDE with good compatibility for windows.
The source is on github, which means to manage it it's useful to know how to use git. There are many guides lying around for that, but I'm not sure how much you know about it already. To compile, there's this guide: http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Compiling_LMMS If you ever get it working manually, I also have a bash file I use to make it easier: https://gist.github.com/2420332 This is for linux, but replacing "rm" with the windows equivalent for deleting should make it work. It's sort of hard to know what you need help with, could you try following that wiki guide and then asking with specific errors? PS: Welcome!
