Probably. One would hope there won't be too much package churn between now and

Of course you run the risk that an upgrade will hose your system again, and 
Ubuntu version upgrades haven't always been smooth so you might get a better 
experience with a clean install of Hardy.

That said, I've had no problems with my own Gutsy to Hardy upgrade so far.
