I haven't been down there with my diesel, but I would think that if they have ULSD, as opposed to LSD, you would not have problems? This thread might help:

You would think, but from what I hear, the LSD messes up the injectors and HPFP lines. It might not be as quick as running gas accidentally, but the results are the same from what I heard.
Hopefully a Ford tech will chime in with more detail and correct me if I'm mistaken.

my understanding is the ones bought and sold for different markets come equipped with the modifications for the enviroment.
That being said, yours in not compatible.
So I like I indicated earlier, I would have enough fuel on board to get you there and back...just like water or don't do it.

FYI, here's what it says in the Diesel Supplemental manual,
So for markets where HSD or LSD are the only choices, they come with slightly different injector and HPFP components line Senix mentioned.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS - CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUEL: VEHICLES OPERATED WHERE ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IS NOT REQUIRED
For a 6.4L engine to operate reliably on low sulfur or high sulfur diesel fuel, the 6.4L engine must be a high sulfur configured engine or a ULSD fuel-configured engine that has been retrofitted for high sulfur diesel fuel use.
Use only a 6.4L diesel engine that has been configured for use with high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16–500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a 6.4L diesel engine designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel increases the likelihood of engine oil dilution with fuel which may lead to major engine damage. Engine damage from using the improper type of fuel is not covered under your warranty.
Vehicles with 6.4L engines configured for use with high sulfur diesel fuel will only be made available for sale in countries where ULSD fuel is not available or mandated by the government. Vehicles originally sold in a ULSD fuel market that are subsequently exported to non-ULSD fuel markets will need to be retrofitted (at the customer’s expense) in order to be reliably operated on non-ULSD fuel.
Vehicles equipped with a 6.0L engine that are operated in a market that does not require ULSD fuel may be operated on higher sulfur fuel without any engine fuel system or emissions-related concerns.
