There is no easy answer, other than try it and see if it works on YOUR system. Generally, scenery made for FS9 using the FS9 tools should port over without too many problems. If a designer starts using transparencies, then you'll get some nasty black boxes around the object. It's also possible to run into some small elevation problems, as the FS9 world is flat and FSX is not.

Jut install it to a temporary folder like c:\temp\fs9, and then transfer it to your FSX folder, and finally check the result.
If it doesn't work, just delete it.
