I did a port of openswan 1.03 to a 2.4.24 kernel a while ago. It was more of a test 
for the porting environment than anything else, but proved the concept. I guess, the 
latest OpenSwan should be quite easy too. For StrongSwan I don't know yet, is in the 
pipeline. It might be a problem with our outdated glibc. So, yes I believe it is 
feasible.

You can have a look at my kernel development environment at 
http://luna.think.ch/leaf/styx/2.4.24/

The Makefile is quite self explanatory.
