I don't think that would be a good fit. There are probably going to be driver issues and a complete lack of support from either MS or Apple. If he really needs a Windows server, he should get one that comes with it. I would imagine that things like RAID and partitioning would be a PITA.
Could you expand on this for my education?
From my perspective, a windows-only mac pro as a server should be fine. You're talking about two main things for a server like this, disk i/o and networking. Neither of which I see having driver issues. Further, if you were going to do RAID in a case like this you'd more likely be buying a RAID card, so "Apple's drivers" become a non-issue.
So what drivers are you talking about, that Apple may not support in the future?
