No not really, but it certainly isn't ideal. You want the PSU's fan facing into the inside of the case. I know some people have flipped them over in the bottom of their cases but they usually cut a 120mm whole in the bottom for the fan.

The way I understand his question is that the airflow in and out of the case wouldn't change just where the PSU fan would pull air from(Bottom instead of the top).
