Yes, you can just copy from Win to Linux, but I suggest you to use mysqldump instead and copy a dump file.

I know it is probably not necessary to point this out, but you probably would have zero success directly copying the database files from MSWin to, say, linux/ppc.

Definitely best to use mysqldump. Unless, of course, you're just curious to see what happens when bits aren't where the CPU thinks they're supposed to be.
