Yes.  The error message you see says:

    #error Sorry, but insmod.c does not yet support this architecture...

which means that busybox insmod.c does not currently support mips.
Someone, (maybe you?) must write the ELF file loading code for mips. 
The example code already present to support arm, x86, and sh should 
make the job much easier.
