Yes, you can.

You should have a look at "make-kpkg" from the package kernel-package.
With that you can create debian packages of custom kernels that you can
easily transfer to other machines, even if they are different archi-
tectures.

If you use different kernel versions (like 2.2.17 vs 2.4.0) you should
not have any problems.

make-kpkg has been mentioned on this list a lot lately. Have a look at
http://lists.debian.org
search for the archives of debian-user and look at the kernel related
questions.
