The real problem with that is some of the platform dependencies won't be clearly visible until you've ported the code to other platforms. You may have designed something that works very well with one platform, but is insupportable on another. I believe there is something akin to "the rule of 3", where you only know if something is truly portable if you have successfully ported it to at least 3 different platforms.
