Well, I tried it the other day.  My answer is "it depends".

Most of it is the same, or at least similar enough that you can just
jump in and understand it.

Do you use PHP or FastCGI at all?  Neither one of them is (yet)
available for apache2.  The PHP site says they have an "experimental"
version, and the FastCGI site says they "are working on it".  For me,
that means I can't upgrade yet.  The static pages and CGI script
serving was no trouble to make it work with apahce2, however.
