Yes, but:

  Prelude Data.Int> fromEnum (2^32 :: Int64)
  *** Exception: Enum.fromEnum{Int64}: value (4294967296) is outside of Int's bounds (-2147483648,2147483647)

so apparently, different Enum instances deal with this differently.

>From GHC.Num:

    instance Enum Integer where
        [...]
        fromEnum n           = I# (toInt# n)

>From GHC.Int:

    instance Enum Int64 where
        [...]
        fromEnum x@(I64# x#)
            | x >= fromIntegral (minBound::Int) && x <= fromIntegral (maxBound::Int)
                        = I# (int64ToInt# x#)
            | otherwise     = fromEnumError "Int64" x
