It would no doubt strengthen the Basmoli quester, but it's not going to change history any more than if a Yelmalio quester happens to defeat Zorak Zoran on the Hill of Gold quest. That quester will have fire powers, but Yelmalio still doesn't.
(This would definitely be a difficult quest, since the mythic odds are stacked mightily against the quester. In my Ralios game, the Basmoli hero wasn't stupid enough to try it; he was using a Basmol the King myth.)

If you ask Yelm's worshippers, they will deny there was any heroquest involved in Yelm's self-resurrection. And shouldn't they know best? The heroquest you refer to was Orlanth's humble petition for forgiveness.
And keep in mind that *everybody* killed Basmol, across Genertela. (Three Ralian versions are in Enclosure 1.) Even if somehow this is no longer relevant in Prax, he's still dead in the West.
