I think that if a Sikh wanted to wear a kilt, he could look good in it - substituting his kirpan for a sgian dubh.
There are a couple of Sikh tartans, actually. One is the Singh tartan, designed and registered Lord Singh, who lived in Scotland and is quite the Burns devotee:

A Sikh Regiment in the Indian Army, the heir to Rattray's Sikh Regiment from the days of the British Raj, has pipers that wear the Rattray tartan.

I have a picture of the Canadian journalist, T. Sher Singh, around somewhere, in full formal rig with a Singh tartan kilt and the traditional Turban, but now I can't find it.

The Scots and the Sikhs share many connections due to their service in the British Army the Raj -- same wi' the Gurkhas. And from what my grandfather told me about the Sikh policemen in India during the Second World War, if one was wearing a kilt you would regret laughing at him for sure!
