Depends on the kind of "huffer-cart":

Modern, fancy-efficient ones use a diesel-driven air compressor and a holding tank to provide sufficient pressure and flow for an engine start. They are not designed to provide enough constant flow/pressure for prolonged Pack operation.

Turbine APU-style start carts are basically APUs on wheels - and most would have little issue running an air conditioning pack or two...
