I just asked this same question. I wanted to do it for a different reason. I want to make a hand held CNC controller that sends g-code over a serial link. The answer is (some one will correct me if I'm wrong) "It can be done but not out of the box"
But in your case I don't think you want to do what you describe because the PC would have to keep the "print" job running until the CNC machine was done. Better I think if the file zaps over at high sped, the PC "thinks' it is done and then the CNC machine goes on making the part. If you want this to look like a printer then run a print server on the Linux Machinekit machine and it will queue the print job on the Linux side. It is not hard to set up. No reason not to queue up CNC jobs using the standard UNIX print queue system. It should work. BTW, the 3D printer ecosystem has me spoiled. There We can run a central job manager that connects to multiple printers and we can sign jobs to printers and monitor progress using a web cam. There are a few good ideas worth borrowing.
