In general: Yes!

Perhaps you've a lot of luck and your application compiles with GTK2,
but then you get a lot of warnings and problems at runtime. Depending on
the complexity and size of your application it could be some work to
port it to GTK2.

Here is a document about porting Gnome1 to Gnome2. Perhaps you'll find
some usefull information here:
