Apparently we can. See below for a snippet from an earlier mail from David.
I'd rather have someone have a go at this rather than introduce "fudge"
factors.
I think I'm going to be quite busy this week, so Herbert if you're interested
would you like to have a go?

More complicated. From preview-latex:
You take the screen resolution, multiply by the design size of the
screen font (measured in points of real screen estate), and divide by
the design size of the default font used for generating the preview,
usually to be gleaned from the \documentclass command.
That is, for \documentclass{article}, divide by 10pt, for
\documentclass{scrartcl}, divide by 11pt, for
\documentclass{scrlettr}, divide by 12pt, for
\documentclass[xxpt]{anything}, divide by xxpt.
