Yes.

You need util-linux-2.10m patched with the above. util-linux can be a tricky beast and a PAM nightmare on such equipped systems (e.g., RedHat, SuSE, etc...). If you don't build it right, you could be locked out of your system.
I am running with util-linux-2.10f on RedHat 6.2, then downloaded mount-2.10m-2.2.i386.rpm from HJL's site at VA: http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/redhat/6.2/i386/mount-2.10m-2.2.i386.rpm
That seems to work nicely.
You can also try HJL's kernels there if you'd like (I have and they're working great for me!). If you decide to take advantage of Ext3, I highly recommend you get the latest, Ext3-aware Ext2 utilities (e2fsprogs): http://download.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-1.19-0.i386.rpm

P.S. I am documenting this in a NFS+Journaling HOWTO. If anyone would like a preliminary release tarball (HTML format, made with the standard LDP LyX-LinuxDoc->Export-SGML->SGML2HTML procedure), just let me know (I'm just about done, comes to ~18 pages in PostScript). I would like a lot of input (largely because I'm just a sysadmin and probably have a few facts wrong, or quite a few facts wrong ;-). It is designed to supplement existing HOWTOs/FAQs/etc on both NFS and Journaling (again, NOT an expert here ;-).
