Yes, but they should NOT have the same content. Both should be a series of
loadplugins commands, but each file should have completely different plugins listed.

init.pre has loadplugin statements for plugins present in 3.0.x.
v310.pre has loadplugin statements for NEW plugins only present in 3.1.x.

This way a SA upgrade won't wipe out your old plugin preferences, or leave you
without important new plugins loaded.

You should carefully review both files and see if there's any plugins you wish
to change the load status of from the defaults.

In particular, be aware that SA 3.1.x does not load Razor or DCC support by default.
