This _is_ already possible. Just do the following:

Rename your System.map file to System.map-2.2.10
Rename your bzImage or whatever to vmlinuz-2.2.10

Adjust lilo.conf. No more need for a System.map file: when booting, the
kernel will understand System.map-2.2.10 is the companion of vmlinuz-2.2.10
and use it.
This way you can use any number of kernel versions with the correct map file.

Hope this helps,
Ward.
