If you change the architecture and make sure it uses the right drivers for the older machine, it should work. You would just follow the same steps, but be sure to say, share and mount /lib/modules from the old machine on the new machine so you can put the 2.4.x modules folder in there, and copy the bzImage and System.map files over, etc. I don't see why it wouldn't work. It only puts files in a few places. Also, make sure you copy the source over if you plan to do any compiling that needs kernel sources/headers to configure/make correctly.
