In general you can assume this to be the case for core functionality like the stuff in Biobase.
What you should do however, since combine() is an S4 method, is import the S4 method from BiocGenerics. In fact, it is a good idea to check which generics are defined in BiocGenerics and consider whether your package should - support a method for some of these generics (probably not all of these methods, just the few that might make sense; this is very package dependent) - import them In my own work I just do import(BiocGenerics) in the NAMESPACE.
