I'm afraid the NT port
(a) was limited to the PCP infrastructure (so no agent to poke in the
NT registry to extract perfomrance metrics), and
(b) used several (the port was done multiple times) Unix-like run-time
emulations on top of NT, e.g. Nutcracker. So no conversions to the
native Windows APIs were attempted.
So the open source code will more or less compile if you have (b), but
there is serious work to be done to complete (a).
The NT work was more in the line of a feasibility study prior to a real
implementation, and the real implementation was never done.
