Yeah. Heck, I started with Ten instead of Nine and still wasn't confused at all. Plus, the other series don't have Captain Jack *swoon*. As the commenter above me said, there is a lot of backstory, but they work it out so that people don't go "bwuh?" even if it's the fist time they see a Dalek. (Also, keep in mind the first seven Doctors had series that were, after all, Sixties and Seventies stuff. Good, of course...but still Sixties and Seventies stuff.) I say go for it. The new series are really cool.
