No, I don't think so.
In the kgen file it is said, which k-points form the vertices of a 
tetrahedra, i.e.
1st tetrahedra, built by k-points 1,2,5,9
2nd    "                          n,m,o,p
and so on.
When you change the mesh, this assignment will not hold anymore. In 
particular at the border of the BZ some tratrahedra will consist of 
k-points from the "left" and "right" side of the BZ and thus I doubt it 
would would still fit.
