Mostly yes.
You might encounter problems if:
_ the kernel you have been using doesn't have the module for some of
your new hardware (did you build a custom kernel?);
_ you compiled your system with a specific CPUTYPE and your new CPU does
not match that;
_ your disks are going to have a new name on your new system;
_ ...
These are almost always easily solved, but watch especially out for the
CPUTYPE thing.
