Yes, and unfortunately it does this by default. The idea of CONFIG_MCA_LEGACY was to have legacy drivers unable to compile like this. However, it seems that most people who will be trying this don't get the CONFIG_MCA_LEGACY set.
When the option was added, I couldn't come up with a useful scheme to make the legacy (which is almost all MCA drivers) require CONFIG_MCA_LEGACY (there's a kernel bug about this too).
However, looking through the source, the 3c509 driver is broken anyway for MCA (done by the eisa sysfs patches), so I think I can probably just add the extra pieces to convert it to the new sysfs MCA API.
