Technically, yes. If he shows up, you might want to have the child in the back bedroom, and invite him to come in and visit with you before he takes the child - ask him for contact information, such as his home address, employment, and cel phone number.

I'd never advise someone to disobey a court order, but if you DIDN'T permit the visitation after Dad had been absent for two years, the court probably would NOT put you in jail.
