Yes, quite possible. miktex use a localfonts.conf for
fontconfig/fc-cache which contains the directories for type1 fonts:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!--
  DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! It will be replaced when MiKTeX is updated.
  Instead, edit the configuration file localfonts2.conf.
-->

<fontconfig>
<include>localfonts2.conf</include>
<dir>C:\WINDOWS\Fonts</dir>
<dir>C:\Programme\Adobe\Reader8.1.3\Resource\Font</dir>
<dir>J:\MiKTeX2.7\fonts\type1</dir>
<dir>J:\MiKTeX2.7\fonts\opentype</dir>
<dir>J:\MiKTeX2.7\fonts\truetype</dir>
....
....
</fontconfig>
