Theoretically - yes, you could suppress a minigun. Realistically however, it would be impractical at best.

Not only would you need a suppressor for each barrel, the rate of fire and heat generated would most likely wear out the suppressors faster than you could replace them.

The rounds would also need to be subsonic (under 1080 feet/second) for a suppressor to have any real effect, if not you will still have the 'crack' the bullets make as they move towards the target.

And this is completely ignoring the noise generated by the motor powering the minigun and the sound of the action as it feeds/ejects rounds.
