Ideally yes, but it really depends where the sump drain plug is. If it is in the back of the sump then there is no problem. If it is in the front or on the side then you are potentially leaving a lot of oil behind.
Obviously it should be on level ground when you check the dipstick.
If you don't want to lift the front end you could always use the pump that sucks the oil out through the dipstick tube, it's very popular with BMW's and Porsche.
