Yes, it is.
You only have to copy the files "otr.fingerprints" and "otr.private_key" 
from the directory %USERPROFILE%\Anwendungsdaten\.purple (as I think you 
are German I left the German "Anwendungsdaten", in English it should be 
"Application Data") to the .purple-directory on your Ubuntu machine. I 
think this one is hidden in your home folder.

I did this myself, very easy.

Alex.
