BS2 -> PIC circuit conversion

Hi,
I've built a rocket altimeter using a Basic Stamp. Now, I want to
convert it so that the controller is a PIC, because of the cost (I
have a habit of losing rockets!)
They have Pic Basic Pro here at my university that I can use, so
programming it isn't going to be a problem (ie. no need to learn
assembley language).
My question is, do I rig the I/O ports of the PIC exactly the same as
I would the Stamp? eg. for a switch, a 10K resistor to 0V, and the
switch to +5V?
Sorry for the stupid question.
James.

hardware. Note on some, A4 is open collector.
