Yup, it should be as simple as modifying patches/linux.i386.config to include the drivers and re-compiling. I am not positive whether the libata patches are still required for 2.6 kernel (though they are still available).
On a related note, UseYourOwnKernel.pm sort of works - it takes the kernel from your OS and generates an initrd.img which is compatible with SystemImager and you simply use that to boot your machines.
