Yes. Upgrade one machine, and build an msi that updates the files, then 
distribute it via active directory.
Alternatively, use your preferred packaging format.

Failing that, update a machine, zip up the updated cygwin folder, and 
distribute it across your network onto each machine, using administrator 
rights to stop the ssh service before applying.

I should point out that there is no guarantee that permissions would 
remain intact with either method.
