Just losing a little bit of fluid from disconnecting the transmissions cooling lines wouldn't concern me too much, not that much fluid will be loss....but when replacing the radiator you will also be losing the transmission fluid still in the radiator as well, so in this case I would recommend checking the fluid level using the proper procedure and add fluid to get the level where it should be.
Just an FYI, if the transmission fluid has never been changed I would highly recommend to do so at the same time as replacing the radiator, it would be a good time to do a complete fluid replacement IMHO!
