Yes, in the grub menu.lst, you can put kernel parameters after
the kernel line, for example here I am passing an hdb= parm:

title Slackware 9.1
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda9 ro hdb=ide-scsi

You can add more parms on the end of that line, this is the
same as adding an append= line in your lilo.

You can use the other method, kopt, as discussed, but that
sounds like a lot more work than just appending the parms
on the kernel line. I don't like "global" kernel parms
anyways (ie those that would be at the top of a lilo.conf),
I prefer to specify them for each kernel.
