Radial Spoke Front Wheel

My wife has a Cross Check that we are trying to get set up for some light touring. I like the idea of running some or maybe even most of the weight up front and she even has the new model with the mid fork inserts. However, my concern is that we built her bike with many of the parts from a performance oriented road bike. This includes 32 spoke 700c wheels. The rear is three cross, but the front is radially laced. She weighs around 130lbs and we might want to add up to about 40lbs of stuff. Is it acceptable to add load to her front wheel?
