It should, with one *important* exception: exception handling. The length and contents of the stack frame created by an exception (bus/address errors, interrupts, traps, etc.) changed between the 68000 and the 68010. Any code that handles 68000-style exception stack frames has to be modified to run on a 68010 or later. This would mean that any code that handles raw interrupts will not run unchanged.
