I think it is possible, but grub is too big for that.
On the other hand, I usually keep a grub boot disk around (just grub,
no operating system). If your MBR is destroyed, you can boot from any
partition/operating system in the disk using the grub floppy (even if
you don't remember the filesystems/partitions layout on the disk). I
think this is one of its bigger advantages over lilo.

For a daily use, I would agree with you. But grub is much more
versatile when it comes to troubleshooting.
