Yes.

I just did it on two machines, and if you are using vinum you have to:

1. Make a kernel with "pseudo-device vinum" in its config file (or copy
vinum.ko to /modules, but I have not tested this)
2. Make /sbin/vinum in /usr/src/sbin/vinum.

Otherwise you will probably get lost (I had my /usr partition on a vinum
device, thus ending up with a "chicken and egg" problem).
