Depends. X is unlikely to work without some fiddling, and if you have
serious hardware differences (e.g. different USB chipset, switching from ATA
to SATA bus) you'll find it difficult to boot, I suspect.

If it's "pure" Debian,
dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt
will save a list of all installed packages and their status, and
dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt
apt-get install
will try to install the same packages on the new box.
