Yes, you can add a 4th to a 3-axis with second slaved steppers on linear axes, provided you have a spare axis to use, Mach3 will run X, Y, Z, A, B and C

If your slaved axis is using B or C then you won't even have to mess with standard 4-axis screensets ;-)

I haven't suggested that slaved axes can do anything but follow the axis to which they are slaved.
Use a spare axis for your rotary, you should have two spare from A, B and C.
There is some good documentation for Mach3 on the ArtSoft site,
