It is safe.
It depends on the dates of the crashes and whether you want them
looked at. You might look at the INDEX file in each directory.
If it seems to have a similar crash, you don't really need two copies.

If you remove the core.* dirs make sure you also remove the
/var/adm/crash/bounds file as that points savecrash to the next dir for
a core and it will get confused if they arent there.
