The short answer to your question is yes. You should look at your PC version and familiarize with the installation.
For example /lib/modules/2.6.xx.x The tool ethercat goes in /usr/bin The configuration usually goes to /opt/etherlab Once you study the PC installation it will be no big deal to put it on your custom board.
