Sure, something like this:

  mount -oloop ./old-image.iso /mnt
  cp -a /mnt /tmp/foobar
  cp /the/new/executables/* /tmp/foobar/usr/bin
  cp /the/new/manpages/* /tmp/foobar/usr/share/man/man1
  mkisofs -o ./new-image.iso -A "revised iso" -file-mode 644 -J \
          -r -V 2004-11-25 -v  /tmp/foobar
