No, that's not possible at the moment. For DVB there are no Kconfig files
or scripts that do this. For 2.4 you have to compile the DVB driver outside
the kernel.

In theory it's possible to do this for DVB and 2.4, but as dvb-kernel
is already in 2.6-testX, I don't think it's worth the effort.

More people should try dvb-kernel (even with 2.4) and report bugs with
existing applications...
