Generally you need the kernel and the modules from /lib/modules copied and then generate a new initramfs, so that you get the bootup to work properly.

Nowadays there is two option in the kernel about supporting init-system and sadly rarely you have support for systemd and other types, so if you are using a systemd distribution, see to that the other distribution you borrow the kernel also uses systemd or you will not be able to boot the system with the alternative kernel. The same applies when you use one of the non-systemd distributions, don't use a kernel from a systemd system.
Distributions that supports all init systems, will work on which ever other distributions (the only I think does it would be debian even if they seem to want to drop support for other init system than systemd).

IMHO there should be a naming difference, but systemd/Linux and GNU/Linux wouldn't work as in the first case we are talking about the init system and in the othe it's the userland tools, but I think you get my point.
