It has both USB-A (2x) and USB-B. I would imagine since most Arduinos use a mini- or micro- USB port (I can never remember which is which) you will have more luck finding a cable for the USB-A ports than the USB-B port. That being said, both have built-in libraries for Serial communication, so interfacing the two shouldn't be too difficult as long as you make sure they are encrypting and decrypting the Serial the same way. (Disclaimer: I haven't done this exactly before, but I did something similar using a PC instead of a RoboRIO)
