Yes, this is acceptable. The current amd64 port does not support the 2.4 kernel at all. There is no kernel-image-2.4 package in the amd64 archives and I think there never will be one. The 2.4 kernel does not support the amd64 architecture very well and upstream does not do any kernel-2.4 development for amd64 or backports to 2.4 for amd64 as far as I know.
