Not at all. It's a standard compile option, and once it's enabled the kernel will let you redirect console to a serial port by using a boot option such as "console=ttyS0,9600". That takes care of the kernel console output, but you can also make init send all of the user console stuff (the boot logs) to the serial port by making /dev/console point to the appropriate serial device. Even singleuser login will then go to serial. Options also exist on LILO for serial console.
