Yes.

Subversion will not replace files you have changed locally when you
do an update.

It will attempt to merge the changes that have been made to the
repository since your last update into your local files. If it can
not do so cleanly, it will generate an update "conflict", which I
would suggest looking up in the Subversion book.

It will not destroy your data. An update conflict, however, can be
confusing for a beginner.
