Technically, perhaps. But MOL not supporting 2.6 is not irrelevant from the user's perspective.
If it doesn't work--regardless of where the problem lies; whether MOL, 2.6, or the underlying hardware--it's still broken. Given the lack of mention of support for the year-old 10.4(Tiger) and that 2.6 is >2 years old; I wouldn't be surprised to find that MOL is an inactive project.
But I hold out hope....
