Sure. Why on earth would exposed-but-undeveloped film *not* be equally at risk to damage from X-rays? The X-rays affect film pretty much as light affects it. Film that's been processed is a different story. But you can expose that to daylight without destroying it, too. That's really not a good idea for exposed-but-undeveloped film.
