So the answer is yes. Install the MySQL Workbench application on your XP box and work out the URL, account name and password, and port connection issues to the reomte MySQL database. You should then have a MySQL driver available.
Set up a User DSN or System DSN to the remote database using ODBC Data Source Administrator widget in Windows administrative tools. Install RMySQL, configure and enjoy. Good luck!
