Nope. IDEA is an optional algorithm in OpenPGP. All OpenPGP compliant applications will use 3DES as the default algorithm if there are no preferences defined. Obviously you can't decrypt archived messages without having IDEA. You better keep an old copy of pgp 2.6 around. When migrating to gpg the best soultion is to set the passphrase to empty using pgp2, export and import the secret key into gpg and set the passphrase again so that it gets protected using a modern algorithm.
