If I integrate my tame hens into a larger flock of untamed birds do you think they will they become less tame?
 
Many factors at play here.
First, describe tame and untame.
Are both these flocks yours?
Integration alone can be troublesome....hope you have ample space
 
If you are asking whether hand raised, friendly, let you pick them up type of chickens as tame and chickens that don't want that attention as untame, my opinion is that your tame chickens will become less tame as time goes on with untame chickens. I only say that because of my experience with two. Red and Blondie loved to run to my hand and sit on my lap as chicks. When they grew up and started hanging out in the flock they won't let me pick them up anymore. They used to jump up in my lap for petting, but now have stopped that as well. Yours may be different, I don't know.
