Cisco and Microsoft have an established history of
cooperating across technologies to provide customers with innovative business
solutions. From Cisco's standpoint we support voice gateways connected to anything that
complies with the standards, including MS Lync. From MS's standpoint, I believe
they do certification tests with vendors' equipment before they say they
support it.
As far as I know, deploying Cisco ISR G2 in integration with
Microsoft Lync has no issues except for a couple of caveat which is Cisco does
not support Microsoft proprietary codecs (ie RTAudio and RTVideo).
The below document is a good reference for an ISR voice gateway terminating a SIP trunk in a Lync enironment:

Just an update to the above post, I've since found that there are companies, such as Sonus, who build Lync SBAs which are affectively SRST boxes which also have the voice gateway features, you specify the interfaces and they can build the device, I believe it's just a server with the appropriate cards, but this is certainly something worth bearing in mind.
