Yeah, if the user interface is in text.

If you want a GUI app running from the linux side, you'll need an X
server on the windows side.  I've heard good things about the cygwin X
server.

You last option is to have a custom server side program and client side
program.  Instead of reinventing the wheel, maybe a web based app would
do the trick for you.
