Yes. Remove your repositories, add 2009 final repositories (easiest to do this with Easy URPMI, once it's up to 2009, otherwise you can do something like: 'urpmi.addmedia --distrib ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrivalinux/of...' ), and run 'urpmi --auto-update'.
If you had been updating your RC2 regularly you may actually have gone a bit past 2009 final, in which case you should do the above but then also remove all mandriva-release-* packages (with rpm -e --nodeps) and replace them with the same packages from the 2009.0 repos.
