Yes.
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig or make xconfig
choose the module option you wish to enable
Select whether to build into the kernel or as a module.
exit and save
make
make modules_install
You should not have to copy bzImage unless you built your new modules into
the kernel.
Then edit your /etc/autoload directory to include the module you want to
modprobe into the system.
easy!
