You could probably wedge it into BLFS. You may need to support that change with
some changes to the mainline boot scripts, but it seems at least plausible to
do it as an add on.
Certainly it's something you can do after building LFS, though if you are
trying to install on an LVM partition or the like you'll need it before the
first reboot; I don't know how other people think about BLFS, but I generally
don't consider such things until after my first boot into a new build, so it's
a bit of a mismatch in that regard.

As a point of reference, initramfs has been around since 2002 and the default
and recommended boot method since 2005. So this isn't some experimental new
feature we'd have to figure out how to use -- there are lots of perfectly good
examples in the wild.
