Essentially, what you're referring to as "WPKG" consists of two parts:

1) wpkg.js - it's the brain of WPKG and does all package 
installation/upgrades, checks, logging etc.
2) WPKG Client - it's a tool which helps you start wpkg.js on your clients


Technically speaking, you can use wpkg.js without WPKG Client, i.e. by 
starting it as a script in group policy, as a Scheduled Tasks job etc.

So at this point (you only use wpkg.js) it will work with several 
domains, provided you start it properly.


WPKG Client adds a couple of nice features, and eases the deployment, 
especially if you don't have a AD domain (but a Samba one).

You didn't specify what do you want to achieve? I.e., do you have 
multiple domains, but want all your workstations access one fileserver?

Assuming you give proper credentials in WPKG Client, I don't see why it 
shouldn't work.
