Assuming the new tuning down is just 'normal' tuning moved down (i.e. each string detuned by the same number of tones), then yes, they could play the old stuff transposed down - It'd be no different to what a lot of singers do as they get older and can't hit the top of their range quite as easily.
It'd sound a bit darker probably, as the different notes in the same chord shapes would have different tonal qualities, but theoretically it wouldn't be any different to actually play - Learning to sing at all again in a different key would probably be the hardest part.
