Probably, but I wouldn't really know how to master it to a booting iso.

I just found distccKnoppix,
http://opendoorsoftware.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=114
which does boot off a cdrom.

In fact I'm going to take a look at it myself since its root image is even 
smaller
than my initrd, even though I thought mine was pretty minimal.
