RTS games don't tend to port well because of the control changes. It would be possible but your control speed would drop significantly.

It's an RTS, but not as complicated as AoE 4, for example, and it's available on consoles.

It would depend on the devs and if they think they can make a good port. Personally I can see it locking out most time based achievements as it would be nearly impossible to control everything with the same speed and accuracy, even with the best possible port setup. There's just too much to manage around the map for a controller to give you the required freedom and speed, unless you were some kind of console super speed runner who can operate controllers as well as a mouse. For general gameplay I can see it working but forget existing challenges.
Meanwhile a bad rts port is unplayable and would be a huge waste of their time and effort, Re: Starcraft64. If they're not confident they shouldn't try.

All that said i would love the idea of a similar game for console, perhaps one less speed based like the original DK.
