It's not a matter of porting per se.  You can use x.org R7 with Cygwin
right now, through Cygwin Ports.  (But that's of course a separate
project so use its mailing list for problems.)  The issue is that Cygwin
currently lacks an X11 maintainer to handle the packaging.  If I recall
correctly Yaakov offered to contribute his R7 packages to the Cygwin
distro, but there was some other divergence between the two distros that
caused it to be problematic.  Or maybe it was that there was still some
lingering problem with the R7 server that he couldn't get working.  I
don't recall, but you can find the details in the cygwin-apps mailing
list archive.
