Yes, you can.  I sometimes run a 2.4.x kernel on my FC2 system, to test 
the software that I write.

The only tweak needed is to the mouse definition in the Xorg config file.  
At boot time I symlink to one of 2 xorg.conf files, depending on the 
kernel running and all is well:

# diff xorg.conf-linux-2.6 xorg.conf-linux-2.4
71c71
<       Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
---

Hope this helps.
