I did that recently, when upgrading to a new motherboard. Assuming that the new machine has compatible hardware (i.e. that your kernel was compiled with all the necessary support included) it should work just fine.
If you're configured to boot directly into X via xdm (or whatever), you may want to disable that first... especially if you aren't keeping the original monitor and/or video card.
