The answer is no, it ain't that easy.
The main reason has already been discussed at great length in this thred.
It is, that the current patch works for i386 Kernel only, which is no longer part of Mountain Lion. It can be compiled from the source code, but is actually useless as all the Kernel Extensions are x86_64 only as well.
Also the new XNU comes up with some major code changes.
I am currenlty doing some experiments on this - but you should not expect a working solution - especially not within a short time.
