Why not? Remember, this is Cyannogen's distribution, so they could change it up so that the things that would be answered by Now are answered by Cortana. Now cards might not carry over, but that shouldn't be a big deal. And Cyannogen should be able to make Cortana respond to the Now intents.

Indeed, Cortana's integration with Windows Phones is quite similar to Google Now's with Android. At least as far as the APIs which are open components of Android, rather than proprietary Play services, Cortana should be able to pick up the same intents and all.
