Yes, but you should do some testing before you install the new version 
on your live, production system. There are some differences in the 
defaults for named.conf, and when upgrading to a new version it's always 
a good idea to run named-checkconf on your conf file, and 
named-checkzone on each of your zone files (if you are serving any).

If you are setting up a resolver you should also read the ARM for the 
new defaults for things like allow-query, etc. But don't let this scare 
you, as long as things are in fairly good shape with your existing 
installation the upgrade should be fairly painless. :)
