You should be ok.

If the databases are different versions, I'd do the export from the NT system. You can set up a TNS service name to reach the Unix database from there.

One problem you may have is if you do the export from the unix system, and the export file exceeds the file system size limit (usually 2g). One way around this is to export to a named pipe and run compress on the back end of it.
