Not really. Because this takes place in the past. All they have to do is bring in the "secondary mutation" storyline that turned the Beast from a gorilla looking thing into a kitty looking thing, and gave people stupid new powers that didn't make sense.
See in this one, Sabretooth is a military man. He's actually working with people and keeps himself finely tuned. By the time X-MEN 1 comes around he's been living alone as a savage in the wilds of Canada for decades, barely seen another living person. Devolved into more beast than man.
Wolverine hasn't changed much as he's always been around people, he's never let himself give fully into the beast within. So his struggle to be "normal" or live life like a regular human keeps him from reverting to a beast like creature as Sabretooth did.
It's pretty simple, IF they even want to bother dealing with it. But you know the X-MEN movies don't count now. Even this Wolverine film doesn't really "count" as it's not being done by Marvel Studios ala Hulk and Iron Man, it's still under the auspices of 20th Century Fox.
So the ENTIRE X-MEN franchise is being retconned into the "X-MEN:First Class" series being written by one of the writers on Gossip Girls, and it'll focus on the original 5 X-MEN, no Wolverine, no Storm, no one who was in the last 3 films.
It'll be a younger cast too. No more of these late 30's actors, it's terrible for if you are attempting to make a trilogy 2 or 3 years apart.
