I am sure that the concepts could be ported, but the actual process of porting any of the GUI screen readers to X would be a ground-up project to say the least. A lot of C these days is pretty standard so that C or C++ programs written on one platform will compile on another if it also has a standard sort of C compiler like GCC, but Windows screen readers were developed specifically for Windows and probably use every Windows trick in the book in order to work as well as they do. I believe that there are several flavors of X floating around and all of them have structures and engines in them that do graphical things which might look kind of Windows-like, but they may be put together in a totally different way from an internal standpoint than the same Windows application was. How's that for vague generalities.
