Yes, one of my configurations has CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE, also
CONFIG_NUMA=y, and the kernel built. Could not test it, though.

There still might be other configuration settings that caused the
error messages you've seen. Manually picking both PageHuge definitions
from linux/hugetlb.h should be a safe alternative then, but that's
ugly.
