Yes. It's as easy as:
cp /path/to/original.font /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/[fonttype]/
where you replace [fonttype] with the type of font you want
ex. copy all windows ttf fonts over:
$ cp /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Fonts/*.[tT][tT][fF] /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf/
Caveat:
You might run into problems, depending on if you are running in dos or unix
line mode, I can't remember...
Hope that helps,

Subject: Adding fonts
Hi,
Is there a simple way to add fonts to Cygwin's X server?
For example, I have a true-type font called TAHOMA.TTF that I would like
to make available to the X Server.
Are all the host operating system's fonts automatically available to the
X server? Do I have to perform any special actions to enable them? Is
there a formula for doing this?
Thanks in advance, list.
J
