If, however, you simply mean base attack bonus, save requirements, and things like that, then yes. They function just like normal for any creature that wants to take a prestige class. On a side note, if a creature naturally has, say, the evasion ability, whether or not they qualify for a prestige class that requires the evasion ability is dependant upon several things. First, the prestige class might state that a requirement is "The evasion class ability." Taken strictly and literally, this means you would have to get evasion from a class. A lenient DM might waive that requirement, however, and allow you access to the class if you have evasion as a racial ability. If you gave me a more specific example, I could give you a more specific answer. ;)
