Can I extend a Vlan thru serial ports omitting IP's?

The default gateway for my 138.45.221.0/24 LAN is Vlan221 on my Cat6509 (w/RSM) I need to extend this vlan out my fast serial port 3/0/2 where it will be extended via pairgain modems. The distant end of this T1 terminates on S0 of a 4000 router which, in turn, is connected (thru Eth0) to a unix host that needs to be a member of vlan 221, remotely. Can I configure the 6509 and 4000 so that the default gateway for this host remains vlan 221 on the 6509's RSM?

As long as both serial ports are configured for vlan "trunking" you should be fine. A VLAN is layer 2 functionality so IP addressing on the interface is irrelevant unless you want to be able to ping or telnet to the physical ports.
