Doubtful. Apple has generally been ratcheting up restrictions on kernel extensions [1] -- currently, kernel extensions must be signed with a developer certificate that has explicit entitlements for kernel extensions, and must be explicitly approved by the user in security settings. [2] A normal Apple developer certificate is not sufficient to sign a kernel extension, and Apple has signalled that they intend to end all support for loadable kernel extensions in the future.
