Yes, it is possible. You need a bootloader like grub or lilo to select a
kernel at boot time, of course. But I am not sure if the lksctp
implementation for kernel 2.4 is in a usable state, since I assume it to be
quite old.

You have to unload the module with "rmmod -f sctp". -f forces unloading.
Note,
that this may crash your maschine.
