No, don't do that. Bad dog <g>.
The display profile works with Photoshop with your RGB Working Space which
should be something like Adobe RGB 1998. You want to edit your files in a
space that is divorced from your actual display (that way, when you give
that file to the other photographer running a different Mac, he has the same
numbers as you but his unique display profile insures what he sees is what
you saw).

The short answer is to set the color settings to US Pre Press Defaults.
That's safe and a good default (why it's not that way in Photoshop from day
one I'll leave for others). The long answer is you do need to understand
what the color policies are doing and why. While the US Pre Press settings
will get you going, you're bound to run into dialogs asking you want to do
and it really helps to understand the process. It took about 13 pages for me
to explain it all (the long answer) and a PDF at
http://www.digitaldog.net
will walk you through it and other issues.

FYI, version 6/7 and 8 (CS) all apply here.
