You probably could.  However, you might want to look into using the Affymetrix 
Integrated Genome Browser (IGB) for visualizing your ChIP/chip data.  It 
takes as input simple text files for visualization purposes.  It is a Java 
program, so runs fine on windows, linux, and Macos.  

As an aside, I have an R package for chip/chip analysis that is available 
here:

It includes functionality to load the nimblegen GFF files, calculate some 
stats for each probe, and then export the results and raw data for viewing in 
the Affy IGB.  It is still very much under development, so I would appreciate 
any feedback if you decide to use it.
