More or less. The isos are available from

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/4.91/

or a mirror. Then use Jarod's guide and replace fc4 -> fc5. See also

The nice thing about the x86_64 versions of FC is that they support 32
bit legacy mode, so you can always use your favourite 32 bit
apps. E.g. some time back mythtv was offered as 32 bit rpms, until
Jarod fixed some 64 bit issues (now all seems to work fine on 64
bits).

You'll have headaches with flash plugins of course.
