Sure it can.  For mainline -rc and 3.x releases, I am trying to build
an almost-allmodconfig kernel (x86_64 only) with one major option
disabled.  The $major option that is disabled is one of each of the
following:
  BLOCK HOTPLUG INET INPUT MAGIC_SYSRQ NET PCI PM PROC_FS SMP SYSCTL SYSFS

There used to be several build errors for HOTPLUG or MAGIC_SYSRQ disabled,
but those aren't finding problems lately like they used to.  I could probably
drop them.
