It depends on you specify the gus and which motherboard do you have.
If you hardwired the gus specifications in the kernel config file:

device gus0 at isa? port  0x220 irq 11 drq 5 flags 0x7 vector gusintr

Then if pnp setup does not match the config file the driver will fail

However, if you specify the gus as a configurable device:
device gus0 at isa?   vector gusintr

The driver will get its configuration information via the PnP method and
if the card had been previously set by a PnP program whether that be 
a kernel routine or the motherboard's bios the driver will still get
its info from the card.
