Without knowing the specifics, the answer is "it depends".  I say that 
because it does legitimately depend on many variables:
1. The model number of the old card
2. The model number of the replacement card and its 
hardware/software/firmware version
3. Your chassis type
4. The IOS version you're running

That's possible but I wouldn't count on it.  Have a backup of the config 
for the ports that you want to preserve handy.
