Yes, but you can't mix&match anyway. For stuff like that you're probably best off by using a talktokernel.c file that is compiled with -I/path/to/kernel/include while the rest of the daemon doesn't know about kernel internals.
That could and perhaps should be fixed, but I think that is a different issue entirely.
