Yeah. Surfer rededicated himself to Galactus' service because one Galactus revealed the natures of Tenebrous and Aegis, combined with Surfer's on experience with Annihilus' wanton, indescriminate destruction, Surfer has finally realized that what Galactus does is necessary, and in fact proper, to carry on and protect. His remorse remains but his will is sharper than ever. We know this because of the lengths he went to just to delay tenebrous and aegis...old surfer would never have done that by galactus' command.
Plus, even though it was not explicitly stated, I'd argue that SS did receive a power boost, as Galactus requested his service specifically to aid him against aegis and tenebrous...leaving his powerlevels intact going into such a battle without augmentation would have been foolish for big g, despite both of them losing anyway.
