You should probably expect problems ... for example, the standard names
of datetime-related datatypes are different now.
I would suggest dumping schema and data separately (pg_dump -s and -a
IIRC). Try to load the schema, edit manually, repeat till successful.
Then try to load the data. With luck you won't need any data edits.
