Yes.

The lilo executable for BL2 is glibc2.  The lilo
executable for BL1/BL3 is libc5.  However, it is 
possible to run the executable from BL2 and write
the loader for a BL1/BL3 partition.  And vice versa.

There is no separate lilo package for BL3.  The lilo
package for BL1 puts the loader at the start of the
current root partition.  It looks for the kernel in 
the /root directory.
