I sure hope so. Here's the patch set for 2.4.x which fixes the NULL_GUID bug, moves efi.h from include/asm-ia64 to include/linux, and fixes efi_guid_unparse.
1) http://domsch.com/linux/patches/gpt/linux-2.4-gpt-efiguidt.cset has been in the IA64 port for a while. This fixes the endianness issues with the efi_guid_t type and adds the NULL_GUID definition needed to compile the GPT code.
2) http://domsch.com/linux/patches/ia64/linux-2.4-efihmove.cset moves include/asm-ia64/efi.h to include/linux/efi.h similar to the 2.5 patches. This is needed to allow the GPT code to compile on non-IA64 platforms too, necessary for the use of really big disks.
3) http://domsch.com/linux/patches/gpt/linux-2.4-gpt-efiguidt-unparse.cset has been the IA64 port for a while. This fixes efi_guid_unparse for endianness.
These need to be applied in the above order, as #1 touches efi.h, #2 touches and moves efi.h, and #3 touches it then too. #1 and #3 are already in the ia64 port tree, but Marcelo and Alan don't have any of these three. I've compiled this on x86 against BK-current building in GPT with no troubles.
