Can the initABCD.ora file be changed during an RMAN migration

Is there any reason I should not modify the parameter file AFTER I copy it to the new host but BEFORE I restore the controlfile, datafiles, etc.?

We are planning to move our database from one SPARC/Solaris box to another. Since the file system, operating system, and Oracle version
(8.1.6) will be identical I figured that using Recovery Manager to do
the migration would be best. The first step (after installing Oracle) is to copy the parameter file to the new host. There are a few changes I have been wanting to make to the parameter file but have not because it would require bouncing the database. I know I don't want to change db_block_size - but what else should I not change?
