yes, it's a valid configuration. Eg. distribution makers are frequently using highmem-enabled kernels - and it's a natural thing that they boot & work just fine on non-highmem boxes as well. Also, even a highmem box could have a RAM failure anytime that forces a temporary removal of RAM, causing the box to have no highmem RAM anymore, in which situation it would be pretty awkward if the highmem-enabled kernel failed.
