Of course.  You could also do it as:

;;;###autoload (autoload 'frameset-p "frameset"
;;;###autoload   "Return non-nil if OBJECT is a frameset, nil otherwise." nil)

which has the advantage tht this code is not run when loading frameset.
Or you could do it by replacing the declare-function call (in
register.el) by a call to `autoload'.

Agreed.  I only meant to say that there's no way to do it "cleanly"
(e.g. such that the arguments to `autoload' are constructed
automatically from contextual information).
