As far as I know, there should be no real problem. If something has changed, eg CONFIG_MODULES is now known as CONFIG_COOL_MODULES, then my guess is it would just quietly ignore this, and you'd be still without modules or cool modules.
This shouldn't happen though (why would it?), so I say go ahead. 'make oldconfig' is also a handy way to reuse your old .config in a new kernel (try it, it's hours of fun).
