Yes, this is acceptable.
The current amd64 port does not support the 2.4 kernel at all.
There is no kernel-image-2.4 package in the amd64 archives
and I think there never will be one. The 2.4 kernel does not support
the amd64 architecture very well and upstream does not do any
kernel-2.4 development for amd64 or backports to 2.4 for amd64
as far as I know.
