First build your packages with "make package" or "pkg_create" to get a 
package tarball. Then put the packages into your_path/release/R/cdrom/disc1
into a directory call "packages". Create the package directory structure,
like packages/All, packages/your_package_category, ... After that, modify
the INDEX file so it only contain your packages (plus dependencies). Then
run mkisomages.sh to create your ISO.

I don't think you can, but check the source to comfirm.

That's all from memory, may contain rough edges, hope it helps anyway.
