Yes, but be prepared for some extra work and a lengthy upgrade (half
your system will be recompiled). However, I have not tried Opera, but
it should work.
See flameeye's blog first. But ignore the part about
the libpng-1.4.x-update.sh script being a hack. I found that necessary
and it worked for me.
