That should be pretty easy with druidbsd as it gives you a convenient dumping-ground to throw extras.

Note, however, that there is a very large code-drop around the corner that will bring about 1.5 years of enhancements in soon. So if it doesn't do quite what you want now, it may soon.

That being said, one of the things I feel makes DruidBSD unique is an insanely-customized mfsroot designed to break you out into the larger (and more expansive) ISO-9660 structure so that you -- as a developer of your own custom LiveCD -- CAN expand the functionality simply by dumping binaries and libs into the ISO-9660 structure while the mfsroot stays nice and compact.

If you wanted to, you could add X windows even.
