Probably ...
Unless you use your hand brake often while in motion, in which case a step in the drum might keep you from pulling the rotor off. In which case you will need to back off the adjuster, which you will need to adjust again anyway for the new rotor. Best to be prepared just in case.
The attached picture shows where to find the adjuster (1 o'clock on the LH side, 11 o'clock on the RH side). It is accessible through the bolt hole with a flat screwdriver, so you need to pull a stud if you are using wheel studs. If you have to loosen the adjuster to get the rotor off, it is easy enough to adjust for the new drums. Tighten until the brake comes on, then back off a few clicks (I think 3 or 4 is the recommendation, but you can judge by your hand brake motion).
