Yep, and there are extremely asymmetric commercial towers which perhaps 
would serve to illustrate this - namely the Western Union so called 
H-Frame, which is basically two guyed towers with each tower guyed to 
the other in one direction. So each tower has normal slanted guys in two 
directions, and horizontal guys in the third.

The horizontal guys will of course have much less pre-tension than the 
slanted guys in order to have equal *horizontal* force applied all around.
