"Sort of".

Fedora itself is "unsupported", in that there's no support contract.

A yum upgrade is "unsupported", in that it's not recommended.

But it can work: see
http://linux.duke.edu/%7Eskvidal/misc/fc1-fc2-yum-hints.txt
for FC1 to FC2.

For FC2 to FC3, see
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-November/msg00309.html

I wouldn't recommend going more than one stable release to the next this
way.

Hope this helps,

James.
