Yes.  You'll have to move the .old directory back to 2.6.3 if you want to 
use the old kernel again.  Another trick is to use the 
"--append-to-version" parameter so that there is some extra stuff added to 
the end of the kernel version.  For example, --append-to-version=new will 
put the kernel modules in the /lib/modules/2.6.3new directory.
