Can I use the stock kernel to build the updated higher android versions?

Can I use the stock kernel (Froyo) and the binary drivers that comes with the stock and use the aosp source code and build higher version of the platform (gingerbread, icecream ) as and when they are available?
Why do the kernel needs a change when upgrading from one version of android to another, the hardware doesn't change anyway.

OKAY LET´S GO MAN
you can´t port a kernel from froyo to ginger for example because the kernels are created with diferents codes...
if you want to create a custom kernel from a stock kernel you needs the "privative drivers" and the source code for to do this... gingerbread has another source code than ice cream (still closed source)
the same thing happens with AOSP (cyanogenmod for example) but they uses a pure LINUX code for to create a custom kernel..
AOSP also needs the source code of the android version for that are creating the kernel.
and the kernel need to be changued between android versions because are not compiled of equal way.
ext4, task admin... and H/W don´t works equal between android versions

Simply start by downloading cori's source and aosp android of your choice, then edit & merge things from source to aosp then compile.
