Conversion to BB30 question...

The frame of my Cyclocross bike is a circa 1999 or 2000 Kona Jake the Snake. The frame is the only part left from the original bike as I have swapped out parts numerous times over the years. I am currently running a Ritchey carbon fork, SRAM Force shifters and derailleurs, FSA compact crankset, etc.

I have been considering purchasing a new frame and then transfering all the parts from the old Kona frame to the new frame. My current crankset uses FSA's Megaexo bottom bracket. One of the frames I am considering, when built up by the manufacturer, uses a BB30 bottom bracket/crankset.

Is it correct that if I were to switch to this frame, I would need a new bottom bracket and crankset that are made for the BB30 standard?

Thanks.
