This is correct.  lsof depends on the kernel version.  I am uploading
kernel-version-dependant version of lsof for slink (there isn't one
for 2.1.x yet) 2.1 is a bit better as lsof has support for a /proc
based method of getting info that isn't dependant on kernel version.

If you really need it I suggest compiling it with your kernel.
