Can I install software subsets for 4.0B whilst running 3.2 ?

I need to upgrade my AS2100 from OSF 3.2 to DU 4.0B with minimum downtime.

So far I've got a new 4.0b installation on dka200, but had to return the
machine to user service before installing layered products and adding the
bells and whistles.
So now I'm running the old OSF 3.2 booted from dka0.

I can mount the /usr partition of the 4.0B disk on /mnt (say).
My question is can I use the -D option of setld to load 4.0B layered
products onto the new system disk or will I get a load of errors
relating to incompatible libraries etc ?
I don't want to "try it and see" in case that ruins my new embryonic
system disk.

TIA
