Well, yes. But long before then the simple motions of all the individual stars will have changed them beyond all recognition.
It's not like constellations are actually a thing. Most are made up of stars that aren't even near one another - even on an interstellar scale. We just drew some lines between a bunch of points that "looked like" they belonged "together." Eventually though the stars that make those points will move enough apart or in the wrong direction that humans will no longer "see" them as part of the group.
