See, I think it depends on how we define the term. The problem with slang terms like 'bro' is that there's no one fixed definition. Oxford English Dictionary doesn't have an entry one can point to and say 'there, that is the definition of a bro,' and so it can mean different things to different people.
Given that bro is derived from brother, it seems that the term would be inappropriate for a woman. Can one, however, have a bro-like relationship with a woman? I should certainly think so, no matter how one chooses to define it. Is a bro someone who you do typically masculine things with, or is it simply a good friend?
It's entirely possible for a guy to be friends with a woman, even an attractive one, with no romantic feelings. I speak from experience. If such a friendship makes a woman a bro, than yes it is very possible.
