would radeon card work if recompiling the kernel?

Support for ATI radeon cards there isn't anymore.
However, it's a pity reading in Xorg messages that radeon driver does support all those ATI card, but kernel compiled in "make.conf" with "NEW-XORG=YES" and "KMS=YES" uses radeonkms instead, that complains about a drmn.ko that doesn't exist in system, and so X fails back to VESA (if you edit conf file).
My question is: is it possible to make kernel use old graphic system, making it use old (and working) radeon.ko?
