Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a democrat with republicans in his cabinet. Henry Stimson, the Secretary of War was a republican.
Roosevelt knew his powers layed in his ability to harness the powers of the various factions and focus them into a single beam.
I can't think of a republican with a democrat in the cabinet.

There's nothing that prohibits it.
Try Wikipedia, and going back through each administration.
