no. see below.

There is a constant TYPO3_version which you should use (according to 
TYPO3 Core APIs Page 46 - PDF) - combined with the API call 
t3lib_div::int_from_ver($version) you'll get a reliable value to work with.

eg

if (t3lib_div::int_from_ver(TYPO3_version) < 4000000) {
   debug('TYPO3 4.0 required!');
}
