You shouldn't have any issue. This is what BO has to say on the issue:

Crystal Reports XI, 10, and 9 support Unicode. Earlier versions of Crystal Reports do not support Unicode. Therefore, once an RPT file has been saved in Crystal Reports XI, 10, or 9 the RPT cannot be opened in Crystal Reports 8.5 or earlier.

I have brought over v8.0 reports to CR XI and didn't have any issues.
