Yes.

I made the same migration, but i first upgraded to rt2, and then rt3.
The intermediate upgrade to rt2.x seemed to be necessary in order to
convert the existing tickets all the way from v1.x to v3.x.

Here's roughly how i did it:

- install rt2.x
        cd /usr/local/src/rt-2-0-15/make install
		<enter root pw>
		<enter wrong pw>
		<enter root pw>
		<enter rt pw>

- on rt1.x box, run the script 'import-1.0-to-2.0'

- dump the rt2.x db using script from rtv3.x :
        perl rt-2.0-to-dumpfile rt2.db.dumpfile

- install rt3.x

- on rt3.x box, run 'make initialize-database'

- on rt3.x box, run
        perl dumpfile-to-rt-3.0  rt2.db.dumpfile

- on rt3.x box, restart apache
