I think yes. On kernel without P2-PCI XFree86 can be used only though
"fbdev" driver, which is very slow. Glint doesn't work at all (even after
removing the "BusID" option from config there is a lot of unresolved
symbols and driver quits with message "no pci board found" or something
simmilar).

The real problems with serial driver started in 2.4.18 or 2.4.17, on earlier
kernels serial driver worked very nice (I used it to exchange data between
my Amiga and x86 laptop).
