thanks
Ubuntu has cinnamon as one of the desktops it supports, so you should be able to install it from ubuntu. There is nothing about cinnamon that I can see that would make it, or any other desktop, impossible to run, since you can run the mate desktop. That is not saying that I know for sure everything to install to make it work. If you know how to install cinnamon from an ubuntu command line on x86, the same thing should work.
If you are not afraid of failing, you could try:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon
sudo apt-get install cinnamon-desktop-environment
sudo apt-get install xorg
and after a couple of hours, it should be done. You could google for instructions on converting an ubuntu server to a desktop for more ideas.
If you mean cinnamon as supplied by the same people that supply mint, you would have to ask them, and I would think the answer would be no.
Mate is thought to be a desktop that makes medium demands on the CPU and memory, and longsleep includes a script with this image to install it.
