Generally yes. There's a patch file you can download for automatic
patching, but in this case it doesn't work automatically. So you
manually have to look all pieces that doesn't merge. I already took a
look, and hardest part would be update_status function, because
Asterisk 1.6 uses astobj2 (ao2_lock, ao2_iterator_* and other
functions) to access queue list. You will have to rewrite this part
using old functions - you can see that in update_queues function:

        AST_LIST_LOCK(&queues);
        AST_LIST_TRAVERSE(&queues, q, list) {
                ast_mutex_lock(&q->lock);

If you doubt about some part, you're welcome to ask, i'll try to help
you, but i don't want to provide complete backport to you, as i won't
be able to test it :)
