As people have said, the textfile should indicate which port it is designed for.
In many cases it will say something like "any limit-removing port". This means that it should work with almost any port apart from the original exes (Doom.exe or Doom2.exe) or Doom95.
If it says "any Boom-compatible port", then it should work with most modern ports, since Boom features are widely supported. However, note that jDoom does not support Boom features.
If it doesn't say anything about ports (obviously this will be the case for wads that were released before the source release), then it is most likely designed to work with the original game, and thus should work with all ports, unless a port happens to break something upon which it relies (this is rare though).
Sometimes you'll find a wad that asks you to use deusf and/or dehacked. With most modern ports you won't need to use these programs, and will be able to use the wad directly without running deusf (some exceptions though), and you can load the dehacked patch from the command line (-deh whatever.deh).
