No.

This would make a good project for someone, though.  It wouldn't be that hard.
What would be necessary is taking the existing code and reversing the arch
interface changes that took place during 2.3/2.4.  My CVS history goes back
to early 2.3, so those diffs would make a good guide to what needs doing.

If I were doing it, I would organize it to jump back through 2.3 in manageable
steps, getting a working kernel at each stage.  Once you're back to early 
enough 2.3, that'll be equivalent to 2.2.8 or so.  Then you need to look for
arch interface changes that happened during 2.2, and there shouldn't be many.
