Presumably, yes.  This will make those passages of music quieter
overall, but the dynamic peaks will be further away from clipping.

Note if your reference loudness isn't consistent across your music
collection, your tracks won't play at the same volume level, which is
the whole point of ReplayGain.  However you state that your collection
consists of classical and some rock.  It's unlikely you'll be playing
them one after the other so as long as you're consistent between genres
it shouldn't be an issue.

MP3Gain has a nice feature in that you can tell it to apply the largest
gain -before the onset of clipping-.
