i didn't read this howto, but i read another one 
http://www.lpmo.edu/~daniau/ltsp-mosix/

here is briefly what i've done last year with ltsp-3 and oMosix-2.4.21...
it shoud be the same with recent versions
in theory it is simple.. in practice a little less ;-)...

get the linux kernel sources ;-)
and apply the openMosix patch on the kernel, i suppose you know how to
do that
#
then,

### copy the config file from ltsp_initrd_kit which had been used by
the ltsp team to  produce the ltsp kernel, into the kernel source tree
cp ~/ltsp_initrd_kit/config-2.4.21-ltsp-1 /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/.config
#
$ cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.21
#
### adjust only the oMosix kernel options
$ make xconfig
#
## compile and build the new future kernel
$ make clean && make oldconfig && make dep &&make bzImage && make
modules && make modules_install
#
## you need to make the new kernel network bootable
$ ~/ltsp_initrd_kit/buildk
#
## the new kernel is now tagged by mknbi and so bootable by network
## copy it ti the right tftp place
$ cp ./vmlinuz-2.4.21-ltsp+oM /tftpboot/lts/
#

## dont forget the new kernel modules.. must be copied in the
## right place
$ cp -r /lib/modules/2.4.21/ /opt/ltsp/i386/lib//modules/

it should be sufficient!?
it works for me last year! (with ltsp-3... i dont know if it should be
the same thing with ltsp-4)
