Yes there is.
You can use the same methods that jailbreaks use, except do not make changes to the root partition. After all, it would be a "chicken and egg" problem if you cannot run anything (like a jailbreak installer) until after a jailbreak installer has been run. Think about it...
On the kindles, "jailbreak" means installing a custom install key certificate file so that user-signed update*.bin backages (including hacks such as SSH) may be installed using the built-in kindle package installer. Most jailbreak packages ONLY install this key certificate file, and make no other changes to your root partition.
For example,
ixtab's jailbreak runs RUNME.sh on the USB drive if it finds one. You can put stuff in that script. And you can modify the rest of the jailbreak code to ONLY run that script and NOT install a jailbreak.
