Risky--even if it happened to work today on your OS versions, there's no guarantee that it will continue to work. PostgreSQL uses "native"ish types on each OS, so there's a possibility of files on one OS not working on another.

I have been copying down from Linux to Mac OS for quite a while for local dev work, but Linux/BSD are closer than Windows/BSD and if it stops working one day I lose nothing.
