The SOAP client should be ignorant of the technology used to implement the web service provider--calls are based off the WSDL. (The provider doesn't even have to be written in Java.)
So, no, the clients should not need rewriting--however, if you're taking advantage of WS-* WSIT technology not yet in CXF (or WS-* CXF technology not yet in WSIT) you could have compatibility problems. Regardless, testing of the old clients will be needed to make sure things are working with your new implementation of the web service provider.
