Anyway, this was not a good question. It is in the FAQ, and the answer
is "no!". 
Porting Nessusd on Win32 is possible, right. But...
1. Maintaining both version (Unix & Win) would be a pain in the back.
2. The mailing list throughput would be multiplied by ten. Can we cope
   with that?
3. This would make Nessus even more popular among script kiddies.

I suppose that one can recompile it under the Cywin environment. 
You'll need a packer sniffing library, e.g. winpcap, but you'll
probably lack a few functions.
Anyway, this will be very slow, because of Cygwin fork implementation.

And I guess that the next question would be "I cannot install Cygwin,
when is a Win32 native version scheduled?".
