You'll likely get some noise from the top end as the tensioners and hydraulic lifters may have settled, but as soon as it gets oil pressure it should be just fine.

If you charge the battery you could disconnect the fuel pump and spin it on the starter until it has oil pressure, then reconnect the pump and start it. That way it makes fewer horrid noises on startup. 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for the starter if you're going to do that so it doesn't get too hot. It'll probably take 3-4 goes to build up pressure and you'll hear when it does.
