No. The new working copy format is not compatible with pre-1.4
clients. You also cannot use pre-1.4 server modules with repositories
created by a post-1.4 svnadmin.

Are you perhaps confusing the repository format and working copy
formats? You CAN use both pre-1.4 and post-1.4 clients with the same
repositories - the incompatibility is with the *working copy*. You
cannot have pre-1.4 and post-1.4 clients access the same WC.
