Yes, that's the general rule for large format printing. You'll end up with roughly 75dpi which should usually be fine for viewing from a distance.

However, if it's a fine art print or similar (i.e. something that will be viewed up close) then you should aim for as high a resolution as possible, even if that means 300MB Photoshop files!
