Sure.  All what you need to do is follow the instructions provided by
Antonio, if you are not using automake 1.15, you need to pass
`autoreconf -vif' to generate all the needed files for build after
patching.

If you want to enable it in the kernel, you need to select:

CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS=y
Choosing LZIP as the type compressor to use.

These are the complete steps, how I do it for Dragora (a GNU/Linux
distribution):
