Yes it will. I would like to point out that the "needed" part is not
exactly true, binaries compiled with pre-4.2 can run equally fast on
Kepler especially if JIT compilation of PTX code is enabled.

Moreover, current 4.2 pre-release compiler produces slower code than
CUDA 4.0 not only for Fermi but also for Kepler. We'll have to see
brins the final CUDA 4.2 release + official drivers.
