No.
The DB structure has been changed, so the best way to go is to install the same version > import the data > upgrade.

will this will cause trouble if you have alot of mods done to the old version tho?
What do you mean by “mods”?
If you modified core files – that’s always trouble.
The best way to bring over your posts is to first install WP v1.5 and import your current posts. Then overwrite the core WP files from the WP 2.0.1 archive, then upgrade this installation using “/wp-admin/upgrade.php”. You should now have your posts in the newer 2.0.1 format.
Now, grab the posts again, but in 2.0.1 format and import it into your real 2.0.1 blog.
PITA? Yes..I know..:)
If you have modified core WP’s functionality, you will have to manually add them back into the new files. You cannot keep the older version of files.
