That's correct. Just make sure you have this in your XF86Config:
Section "Module"
Load "extmod"

EndSection

It has nothing to do with the kernel config -- it's an extension to the
X protocol. The respective module/lib implementing the SHAPE extension
(and various others) comes with the X-server
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libextmod.a
BTW, with "xdpyinfo" you can check which extensions your X-server
supports. See the list following "number of extensions:".
