No, some things have changed in the packaging (most visible point is switching
from lzma to xz compression) that makes it incompatible.

Maybe next year it will be possible to switch from TL09 to TL10 with tlmgr
(maybe), but for this year you will have to go through the "normal" procedure of
1. Installing TL09
2. Make sure it works.
3. Delete your old TL08 if point 2 was OK.
