Straight of out the release notes (
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f8/en_US/sn-Kernel.html ):

<< x86 Kernel Includes Kdump

Both the x86_64 and the i686 kernels are now relocatable, so they no
longer require a separate kernel for kdump capability. PPC64 still
requires a separate kdump kernel. >>

So I guess that's a yes, with even less installing than before.  Note
I haven't actually used this capability myself, so I'm not sure what
else is involved.
