[turba] Migrating a database to newer mysql and fedora

I'm currently running turba on an older-than-dirt machine with Fedora 
Core 2 and mysql something like 3.23.

There is nothing I can do to upgrade that machine (either hardware or 
software) right now, but sometime in January I'm hoping to be able to 
take it off-line long enough to do some major system upgrades, 
without ending up with an angry mob coming down my street carrying 
torches because the server is down.

If I use mysqldump to do a dump of the turba database, and then 
upgrade the machine to Fedora Core 6 with the very latest and 
greatest mysql, can I expect to be able to directly import the dump 
from the old version of mysql, and have it Just Work?
