In theory yes, on occasion I do get bugs that break XFree86 4.3, but these are bugs as opposed to design decisions, upgrading the kernel should never require upgrading to a new version of X or anything like that, however upgrading X can sometimes require a newer kernel in order to take advantage of newer drm features.. but X should always work with the older drms...
