Certainly you can use lilo if you want. You can also use almost any distro on a CD and have it install some version of grub. You can build the 32-bit version of grub on a 32-bit OS and install that. It's your distro. LFS is about learning and in this case we are learning about grub. Now that I look at it, I remember a message about problems with installing grub2 on a partition. What I think you should be doing is installing it on the MBR.
