Well, not exactly :)
2.6 can do either Coda 6 or 5 kernel interfaces without any add-ons.
The corresponding interface versions are 3 and 2.
(For you there is no reason to use the old interface, which otherwise can be
chosen by a kernel config option.)
2.4 has Coda 5 kernel interface ("version 2") out of the box but
that is too old for current user space tools.
If you apply http://coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/linux/kernel/linux-2.4-coda.patch
say to 2.4.26, that provides Coda 6 kernel interface ("version 3").
