The IKVM binaries are cross platform, so you can xcopy deploy them to Windows without any problems.

Only if you use JNI do you need the native ikvm-native.dll library on Windows. On Linux libikvm-native.so ships as part of Mono, so there you don't even need to worry about that (and ikvm-native contains only a small amount of code and is designed to work across different versions of ikvm, so when you update your ikvm version, you typically don't need to update ikvm-native.dll).
