I can think of several Cygwin-supported
alternatives/workarounds.
None of them address your question, however.

1. Set the environment variable EDITOR to 'vi'
or 'vim', as suggested by Nicholas Wourms:

   $ export EDITOR=vi
   $ crontab -e

2. Install 'nano' using 'setup.exe'.  nano is
   a small emacs-like editor (closer to emacs
   than to vi).  Then set EDITOR to nano:

   $ export EDITOR=nano
   $ crontab -e

3. Install 'emacs' using 'setup.exe' and set
   EDITOR to 'emacs' or 'emacs -nw':

   $ export EDITOR=emacs
   $ crontab -e
