Maybe.

What about Kobolds with blue skin who wear white hats and live in mushrooms and have one blonde-haired female per tribe and are led by bearded males in red hats?
Should they? As in, does their origin imply some sort of moral imperative to follow that styling?
No, not really. I would probably use duergar, svifneblin, or some similar thing to do norse-style.
Once you put aside the name, I think the drow are actually more grounded in the idea of the seelie/unseelie dichotomy of the fey - stories which come from the British Isles.

Oh gods...
The google ad-link at the bottom of the page right now, i had to click on it...
"Get 10 complimentary NORSE ringtones"
Sadly, there was no Scandinavian war-chants to be found.
Weighing in:
Sure! make the drow norse! Though it would be a bit tough to go sailing across the ocean when you dwell subterraneanly, and start to blister in daylight.
Of course, my Dwarves are aztecs / incas, with great stone ziggurats. They move mountains, one colossal block at a time.

Other than there being a 'svartaelf' (dark Elf, though there probably are a double handful of interpretations of what that really meant to them) in Norse Mythology, there's no connection between the Drow and Norse mythology. Their origins and look as presented in D&D have no correlation to anything Norse at all. They are so different that they are their own thing.
