Nope, no real problem. It's not quite as wide as a Dotcom single-width module, so you'll have a slight gap on either side, but it's the same height as a Dotcom. The mounting holes are not spaced the same as Dotcom, but it doesn't matter if your cabinet has wood mounting rails instead of metal with threaded holes.

One other thing to keep in mind - the circuit boards on MOTM modules are perpendicular to the front panel (not parallel to it, like Dotcom) so MOTM modules can be quite a bit deeper than Dotcom. I think the 390 dual LFO is about 4.5 inches deep. Usually not an issue, but something to keep in mind if your cabinet is really shallow.

You can see four of the 390 LFO modules in my Dotcom system, bottom row, near the right, directly below the pair of Encore Universal Event Generators.
