 Yes, it should work.

 For your configuration you need at least these:

CONFIG_NET=y
CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_IP_PNP=y
CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y
CONFIG_NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS=y
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y

In the absence of a platform maintainer the respective default config 
files are at the very best only updated so that `make oldconfig' does not 
ask questions.
