Yes for the 8.4 asa version but what about the 9 version ?

• EtherChannel configuration on the 4GE SSM disallowed—Interfaces on the 4GE SSM, including the built-in module on the ASA 5550 (GigabitEthernet 1/ x ), are not supported as members of EtherChannels. However, although not supported, configuration was not disallowed until 9.0(1). If you configured any 4GE SSM interfaces as EtherChannel members, then upgrading to 9.0(1) or later will remove the channel-group membership configuration from those interfaces. You must alter your interface configuration to comply with supported interface types. (CSCtq62715)
