I think the capability already exists, at least when using GRUB. Isn't it true that all that's needed is write access to /lib/modules, to /lib/hotplug if needed, to the directory where the kernels and initrds reside (usually /boot), and to the GRUB configuration file (often /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf); you could set these "chmod g+rwx" and "chgrp $TRUSTEDGROUP", and then users in $TRUSTEDGROUP could install kernels.
