It depends on information you have not supplied. The answer is probably yes, but you might want to patch up some in case there are bugs.

See the Oracle� Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide about Cross-Platform Transportable Databases and Tablespaces and Preparing for CONVERT DATABASE: Using the DBMS_TDB Package

In there you will see a reference to V$DB_TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM and related views. Select everything from that view and see if your operating systems and platform are listed, and think about how what you posted is ambiguous.
