With digital, anything can be replicated.
The ability to capture and display color depends on two things:
The recording medium and the display medium.
There are certain cases (especially in HDR or high bit depth images) where digital surpasses even what our eye can see (32 bit), but it requires technique.
This is why a light table is required to fully appreciate what is captured within the medium of kodachrome.
Digital can adapt its display media to many circumstances. However, for a light table, the display potential of a projection (again, properly done) from a transparency is well beyond that of any current digital projectors.
If things are being developed into prints, you won't see much difference.
If things are being developed to display on a computer screen, you won't see *any* difference in what can be presented because a computer screen displays in an 8 bit (per color channel) color space.
In fact, you won't see a difference between two identical shots taken in JPG full auto mode on a P&S and a shot taken in full manual on an H3.
The limiting factor there is the display medium.
If you are looking at prints, it's basically impossible to tell the difference, even printing at huge sizes. There is a point at which the film will not be able to resolve any better unless it is digitized. If film is scanned, there's a point at which the two will become indistinguishable.
