The EGPWS database and GPS both work on WGS-84, so as long as the GPS navigation is enabled in your FMSs, the EGPWS won't be affected by operating in PE-90. However, disable the GPS, so the FMS is working on DME/DME positioning, all bets are off.

Us clever running dogs of capitalism, mapped the world's surface without regard to local authority, but couldn't do the same for things like navaids.
