veejar,
The Gentoo liveCDs are made with a tool called catalyst and some scripts that tell it what to do.
and reproduce the existing liveCD, so you know you can and that it works.
Now change the scripts to do what you need.

| The easiest thing to do is compile a kernel and stick it on the latest CD. Simply copy all the files from a loopback mounted ISO to a directory, add your new kernel, modify isolinux.cfg to suit, and create a new image. |

veejar,
You can with both methods.
Catalyst makes the CD from scratch, Unpacking the CD, changing it and packing it back up requires that you have a CD to start from.
You are not limited to kernel changes.
