Not in a released version, but there's very active work in trunk to make it work natively:

A recent demo I saw a few weeks ago had everything running under Cygwin and building native Windows executables...

Kind of. It's a bit awkward to get it running on Windows, but somehow (by accident) I managed to do a fully functioning installation on Cygwin. That said, many of the packages have still not been ported to Windows, so my recommendation is to set up a headless VM of some GNU/Linux distro and SSH into it.
