I thought it not likely, but http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade

You can install it on a new partition/drive and switch back and forth, so it would not be that painful. I do not know if there are migration tools, but if so probably for smaller jumps. Still, keep in mind that you may be able to google up a downloadable tool that convert config files for xxx from version X to Y.
