I'll bet it can be done, but I haven't seen it documented.
mksysb is a shell script, so someone with more time than I have right now could probably work out how to do it.
If the image is small enough, you could make it into a bootable CD with mkcd. You don't need a burner on the system, just use the -S switch.
