Yes it probably could (it supports raw disk files so I see no reason it
could not). Of course you do have to prepare the windows system with
the right device drivers for running on a new system, although that
usually isn't too hard. The mergeide.reg seems to cover the main problem.
kvm also support USB device pass through as far as I can tell.
