A. Since FW 5.3.x, official updates (OTA or not, actually) are complete updates, overwriting the complete main system. This has the side effect of breaking a lot of custom hacks. For instance, you'll have to reinstall MKK for sure, along with most full hacks that touch the system, whereas simple KUAL extensions should survive the process  .
On a sidenote, FW updates are usually a game of cat and mouse, so do make sure you check the forums to see if the hacks you care about will actually *work* on a new FW version before updating .

A couple of other notes:
The JB itself survives the process (so far). In the very specific case of the PW1, when updating from something earlier than 5.4.x to something >= 5.4.x, you'll additionally have to make sure you're using a recent JB version (if you're usure of the JB version you're using, by reinstalling it, either before of after the official update).
Don't confuse the official FW versioning scheme with the Jailbreak's.
