Existing 3.1 hacks on beta 4

Will they work with the new html theme ?

You will have to replace the files again.
So whilst the mods MAY work on beta4. You will have to reinstall them.

Although since the files which have been replaced with new semantic templates are re-written pretty much entirely in one way or another, it will make it likely that some mods will need re-writing to work properly.
(eg if the mod adds a row to the table, the new template uses divs, so it would need changing from table to divs.)

Also lets be clear. It isn't a brand new theme. It looks like the current SMF Default Core theme, but the html is being re-written to use less tables, and use more css.

Thanks for the reply.  I'm sure I remember one of the crew saying their was going to be a new style default theme too, has this now been canceled ?

No.
Most of the questions about it related to this current smf.org theme and whether that would be available (in some shape or form).
In the past a new theme has been added between RC and Final stage.

I am not sure whether any categoric statement has been made guaranteeing a new theme. (to my knowledge only the semantic theme had been promised).

It is also pointless designing a new theme at the moment, until the semantic templates are completed anyway.
