No. But a gtk port has made progress. (gtk is licensed under the LGPL
and has been ported to Win32.) The main LyX window is functional and
a couple of the dialogs have been ported. The rest of the dialogs are
from the XForms frontend.

Writing individual dialogs is stratightforward. Little more than a
matter of filling the widgets with data when the dialog is shown and
then extracting this data from the widgets when 'Ok' or 'Apply' are
pressed. Of course, the more complex the dialog, the more that has to
be done.
