Technically it should work. The same files would have been installed through Crossover, if you use the CD. However, you will have to pay attention to the Config.wtf configuration file, which in inside the WTF folder. The content varies between Windows and Crossover installations.
One of the main differences is that Crossover uses OpenGL over DirectX.
e.g.
SET gxApi "opengl" (Crossover's default config)
and
SET gxApi "directx" (Window's default config)
