No, until 10g and rman's new ability to convert between big and little
indian machines the only approved method for moving Oracle databases
from non-compatiable hardware platforms was to use export/import.



Note that the Oracle binary itself is platform dependent as Oracle has
a platform specific port team made up of Oracle and vendor people who
tweak Oracle for each platform.  You would have to install Oracle even
if the database datafiles could be copied.
