It looks like it is, but you'll need to use an ico file in windows, and an
xbm file under X (not sure if this will work for wxGTK).  Here's the 
constructor you would need to use under windows:

-- wxCursor::wxCursor(const wxString&, long, int, int)
wxCursor_op_ctr_3 = define_c_var( wxWin, "@wxCursor@$bctr$qrx8wxStringlii" ),

I don't have the linux source handy right now to point out that constructor.
The wxWidgets docs are here:
