It will- you'll just need a 60-pin to 72-pin converter and something to hold the RAM cart up with.
It's a bit more complicated than that - the FDS used the Famicom's support for additional sound channels. If you don't do any sort of mod to play the additional sound channels on the NES, you'll basically be playing FDS games with glitched music and missing sound effects. (This applies to both the front and top loaders, to my memory.)
This link seemed to be the first relevant one in a Google search, if this helps you.

If you want to get an fds I highly recommend you spring for a sharp twin famicom. Theyre all over ebay. They may cost a bit more, but you can use composite video and everything works right out of the box, including the fm sound channels. Plus you get a port for famicom carts.
If i bought a sharp twin famicom will i need a special adapter for the power supply.
That doesn't make sense. The one that comes with the Famicom is rated like other DC converters as you'd expect and I have one, and use it, and I assure you I haven't killed any Famicoms. I can double-check what I have and post its info if necessary to confirm its the original; it has the part number to match with the Famicom though..
this reminded me I have an FDS (anyone want to buy it?) either that Or i need to buy a famicom and ac adapter (anyone wanna sell me those?)
4th, I have an AV Famicom with the proper official Nintendo power adapter and have been using it for 3 years now with no problems.
You have a PM good sir.
Like everybody else mentioned, spring for the Twin Fami, it's gonna be the best choice in the end.
