From page_types.h under arch\x86\include\asm
/* PAGE_SHIFT determines the page size */
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
changing the 12 into a 16 results in
arch/x86/kernel/head64.c: In function ‘x86_64_start_kernel’:
arch/x86/kernel/head64.c:71: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/head64.o] Error 1
Because this is just sanity checking code for modules offsets it seems that changing the memory paging size has a lot of unintended side effects which will make this far from simple. I guess I'm stuck with finding another arch to run on. :(
Here is a list of the archs that support 64KiB or greater page sizes: ia64, mips, pa-risc, powerpc, sh, sparc64. So it looks like my best bet it to find an old-PPC Mac.

A possible solution, would be to use VMWare to create a virtual machine on W7. Install your favourite linux OS, then mount the image for it to access, or import as a file then mount.
You could then set up a Samba/CIFS share and access from W7.
