As you should know, Finder (and some other stuff) is 64-Bit only since Lion DP2 (and any later release).
I have tried Lion GM using your DP1 Kernel on Atom N230, apart from not having Finder, there were problems caused by launchd not working properly... it was kinda eating up my 1GB RAM  - so I gave up on that...
So a 64-Bit capable CPU is definitely required for running Lion & a Kernel running 32-Bit legacy mode only would be practical useless.
Anyway a 32-Bit Kernel capable of booting Lion on AMD / VIA / old Intel forced into 64-Bit mode would be a great success at this point - as even if you cannot make a custom dyld at the moment, we could bin-patch the Apple one manually like been done on Snow Leopard earlier... 
How did you manage to compile Lion Kernel in Snow Leopard?
