Yes, this is possible,

Now don't hold me to this but I know the hotmail services used to
run on BSD, I think they still do. 

A very simple example of this is a web browser on windows going to
an webserver on whatever platform.

I'm currently messing around with a python project that
has a server on a linux box, with the client able to
run on both windows and linux boxen, the project is
for managing a 10mm warmaster campaign between a bunch
of friends who like to indulge in other nerdy hobbies
form time to time.

Good luck
