Certainly can. /proc is a virtual filesystem and doesn't need to have a directory in the root for it to be accessed by Cygwin. The only real advantage for me having this directory is that I can see it in some of my file/dir related utilities. /dev/file is a virtual file (fhandler), but AFAIK this will be changing soon'ish. The real answer is no.
