Yes. You can use the module from another computer, given it was compiled for the exactly same kernel version, using the same compiler and compiler flags. Usually, on a given system, all you have to do is make config or make menuconfig, add the module you want as module (M), end the kernel configuration, and do a make modules (maybe also a make modules install, but maybe you would rather copy the module by hand and add it to the modules.conf).
