Yes. Be sure to make good backups before you rebuild world+kernel, in case you screw it up. This goes especially for the settings in the files in /etc and /usr/local/etc. I tend to keep a copy of the files in those directories in my home directory under revision control, with an install script. So I can easily install my changed configuration files.
