Are you using a "proper" serial port or a USB converter?

Keep in mind that any clever tricks you pull off with the CTS/RTS lines
won't work if you ever hook up a USB converter...

If you just want to use them for flow control there shouldn't be any
problems... But there is sometimes as much as 100ms lag between setting RTS
in software and the pin actually changing states if you use a USB converter.
