Nope. I would not recommend running HEAD branch of the CVS, but
the reason is the database incompatibility, not gconf incompatibility.

The development of the stable branch happens in the gramps20 branch.
To check it out, use "-r gramps20" after "cvs checkout" or "cvs update":
   $ cvs checkout -r gramps20 gramps2

or, to update the existing CVS tree:
   $ cvs update -r gramps20

If the 2.0.x is installed on the system then no installation is necessary
to run the CVS. Just do:
   $ cd src
   $ python gramps.py

The gramps20 branch is compatible with 2.0.5 in everything: data
format, settings, mime types, etc.
