The last time the kernel requirement was bumped because firmware loading support was dropped from systemd. Kernel 3.7 gained support for in-kernel loading. Supporting older kernels would hence mean readding that code to udev, and that's just not going to happen... If you don't need firmware loading I think there's a good chance that systemd will just work on older kernels. YMMV. Check the git log of README to see the history how the kernel requirement was bumped, and why.
