Legally speaking, under the Federal Laws in force at the time, yes.
There was a Fugitive Slave Law of 1793, and a strengthened Fugitive Slave Law as part of the Compromise of 1850. The purpose of these laws was to force the return of runaway slaves. Since conductors on the Underground Railroad were conspiring to abet the runaway slaves in reaching freedom, they would be criminally liable as co-conspirators, or for aiding and abetting.
