Well, you'd have to try hard to do this. Enough hacking on /etc/rc could likely make this work. pccardd can run after / has been mounted r/w (maybe even while it is still r/o). It doesn't need anything in /usr. So if you have a local /, then you might be able to do that. NEWCARD will likely change this...
