I just wrote a quick test app that uses a single drawable folder named drawable-nodpi. Android 1.5-2.0.1 all read from it fine.
You are usually supposed to use version qualifiers along with the screens support qualifiers to prevent Android 1.5 from reading folders with them. I suppose not doing so helps reduce the amount of duplicate copies needed in this case. Even ignoring that, though, worst case you'd just have to put copies in additional hdpi/ldpi folders instead of an additional nodpi folder. The unqualified folder counts as medium, so none of the three densities would try to scale a drawable from a different one with that setup.
