I don't think there are any difficulties, other than working with long
file names made by OSX clients.

You can find out more about upgrading here:
http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ShouldIUpgrade

Incidentally, you may find the best way to upgrade is to copy all the
files off the old netatalk server using a mac, and then copy them back
once the server has been upgraded to the new version of netatalk. The
OSX command line tool 'ditto' is very helpful for this.

Regards,
Rory
