The real question is: will this be implemented or allowed for FLL season 2006?
At this point, yes you will be able to use the NXT Mindstorms kits in the 2006 FLL Season.

To be fair to every FLL team that may have spent upwards of a thousand dollars on multiple kits, FIRST Lego League will allow the use of either the NXT or the RCX for the 2006 FLL Challenge. FIRST will also have custom NXT Kits that can be purchased when you register a FLL Team in April. These kits will be available specifically for FLL, and will be available in August 2005. (Several months before they are publically available). For future (2007 and beyond), FIRST is considering totally switching over to the NXT.

That's all I know right now.
