It is difficult to say for certain, but probably not. On my system (Debian 
Sid), the equivalent libraries are located in /usr/X11R6/lib/, but /usr/lib 
contains symlinks to them. This arrangement implies that some applications 
expect to find them in one place, others in the other. So your safer course 
is to put symlinks in /usr/X11R6/lib that point to the actual libraries 
("man ln" if you need to learn how to do this).
